"Thanks to everyone’s tireless efforts, the Soka Gakkai has grown tremendously and become an organisation with great social responsibility. Naturally, as a result, our movement will undergo significant changes. This itself is proof that the Soka Gakkai is a living religion evolving with the people and the times.

“For instance, if we were to liken the Soka Gakkai in the early days to a motorboat, then today, it’s like a large tanker. If a tanker were to speed through a harbour, it would create massive waves that violently rock the smaller boats. It stands to reason that it has to move calmly and with utmost care, always mindful of those around it. Therefore, in our haste to advance, we mustn’t ignore social norms. I hope our organisation will respect its social responsibility more than any other group. I ask the same of all of you. This is fundamental in considering the Soka Gakkai’s long-term future direction.

“Additionally, it will become increasingly important for members to strengthen their families, solidify their personal foundations, and lay down deep roots of trust within their communities.”

"We should demonstrate the truth of Nichiren Buddhism and the correctness of the Soka Gakkai’s faith through how we live our lives.

“Seeing seniors hold fast to their youthful convictions and continue to dedicate themselves joyfully to kosen-rufu into their 70s, 80s, and 90s inspires their juniors. It reassures them that faith in Nichiren Buddhism is authentic, a belief they can embrace throughout their lives without regrets.

“On the other hand, there are some leaders who once put on a good show but eventually stopped participating in activities altogether. How disheartening this must be for younger members. Senior members have a great responsibility. That’s why it’s so important to persevere in faith all your life. I’m counting on you."

There are many important requirements for leaders, but today I would like to confirm the following points with you. First, while it’s of course vital that leaders of kosen-rufu base themselves on strong faith, they also need to cultivate themselves broadly and deeply.

“Academic credentials and knowledge do not automatically equate with being cultured. You become truly cultured when what you have learned transforms into intelligence and discernment and shines through your character. To achieve this, you should read extensively, learn, engage in deep reflection, and strive each day to elevate yourself.

“Second, on the long journey of kosen-rufu, it is crucial to maintain your health, which is basically your own responsibility. Be mindful of your diet, avoiding overeating or excessive drinking. If you feel fatigue building up, make adjustments so that you can get to bed early. Exercise daily and don’t forget the basics, such as handwashing and gargling and getting regular medical checkups.

What is the key to fostering capable individuals? For leaders themselves to keep growing! Inspiration rouses people to action. To inspire others, leaders must grow each day. It is therefore vital that leaders hold their mentor in their hearts, keep their seeking spirit burning bright, constantly take on new challenges, and improve themselves. They must strictly guard against complacency and carelessness.

"The renowned Japanese general Takeda Shingen (1521–73), who hailed from Kai Province (present-day Yamanashi Prefecture), is noted as declaring: 'People are the castle, people are the stone walls, people are the moat.' When each person finds the best place to use their abilities, together they become a solid fortress, a stone wall, and a moat, creating an impenetrable defence."

Culture can be seen as the work of cultivating the human spirit. It can bring about the triumph of humanity, standing in opposition to external forces that threaten people, such as violence, authoritarianism, and the power of money.

Our kosen-rufu movement, based on inner change, seeks social prosperity by guiding humanity away from barbarity towards peace.
