--- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ---

"Soka, meaning "value creation," embodies our commitment as the Soka Gakkai to build a society whose guiding principle is the realisation of happiness for both oneself and others through bringing into full play the human capacity to create value.

"Describing the dynamism of value creation, Tsunesaburo Makiguchi (1871-1944), the first president of the Soka Gakkai, likened it to a 'lotus flower in muddy water,' an image found in the Lotus Sutra.* The lotus flower blooms fragrantly, unsullied by the muddy waters from which it draws sustenance. This illustrates that however deep the chaos and confusion of the times, we can refuse to let this overwhelm us, staying always true to ourselves. The limitless power of value creation, which is intrinsic to life, enables each of us to transform our circumstances into an arena where we can live out our unique mission, imparting hope and a sense of security to all those around us."
