"Life has its raging storms; it is never entirely smooth sailing. Though others may be unaware, most people grapple with some kind of serious problems, sometimes enduring painful situations. Waves of suffering come crashing in one after another.


"That’s why we chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo! That’s why we share Nichiren Buddhism with others!


"Awakening within us the great life force of the Bodhisattvas of the Earth and the Buddha, we confidently triumph over every obstacle with strong, open, and rich hearts."

"When a tree has been transplanted, though fierce winds may blow, it will not topple if it has a firm stake to hold it up. But even a tree that has grown up in place may fall over if its roots are weak. Even a feeble person will not stumble if those supporting him are strong, but a person of considerable strength, when alone, may fall down on an uneven path."

"Though we all equally possess a mission for kosen-rufu, our individual roles differ. For example, in building a house, some people work on the foundation, some do the carpentry, some finish the interior and so on. We each have our own responsibilities, and working together we build a fine house.


"Likewise, the great undertaking of kosen-rufu is carried out by people with many different responsibilities teaming up and working together. We each exercise our individual qualities and talents in our own positions and areas of responsibility. Though our positions and specialties may differ, that doesn't make any of us
superior or inferior.”

"The springtime of dialogue has now arrived. President Ikeda once offered this guidance: 'Friendship is up to you, not the other person. It all depends on you.' He also said: 'Introducing others to Buddhism and striving for kosen-rufu are extensions of the spirit of friendship, of the wish to see those we care about become happy.'


"When we read an inspiring book, watch a moving film or enjoy a delicious meal, we naturally want to tell our friends about it. Sharing Buddhism with others is no different. It means expressing, in a natural and genuine way, the inspiration and profound joy we gain through our daily Soka Gakkai activities.”


President Harada’s speech at the 10th Soka Gakkai Headquarters Leaders Meeting Towards Centennial 2030—commemorating May 3rd, Soka Gakkai Day and Soka Gakkai Mothers Day—at the Toda Memorial Auditorium in Sugamo, Tokyo, on April 18th, 2026.

"In one of his writings, Nichiren Daishonin encouraged a young disciple [Nanjo Tokimitsu] by sharing the story of a carp that overcomes many obstacles to climb a giant waterfall and finally become a dragon, flying freely into the sky (see WND-1, 1002; WND-2, 673; etc.). We all experience hardships and setbacks. But if you don’t give up and keep trying, you will shine brightly.


"Chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo makes the sun of invincible courage rise in your heart. When you chant and continue making energetic efforts toward your goals, challenging yourself like climbing a great waterfall, you will grow stronger and more confident. Your potential is limitless.


"My young friends, soar joyfully into the vast skies of the future!"

"Everything starts with one person. Become someone who is loved by everyone in your community. That's the key. If there is a single tall tree, people will gather under it to seek shade from the hot sun or shelter from the rain. Similarly, if people like and trust you, a person who practices Nichiren Buddhism, they will naturally come to view Buddhism in a positive light. This will lead to opportunities to share the teachings with them. Focus on growing into a tall tree, a fine tall tree for your community."

Sir Edmund Hillary, the New Zealand mountaineer who [together with the Sherpa guide Tenzing Norgay] was the first to successfully scale Mt. Everest, the world’s highest peak, once said: “As I get older and less physically capable, I find other challenges have grown up and become just as important to me.”*


"People who are always taking on new challenges, no matter their age, are able to lead youthful lives. This is how life should be. We of the Soka Gakkai, moreover, embrace Nam-

myoho-renge-kyo, the supreme teaching of eternal youth and long life. Let’s make our way towards the summit of our lives, the summit of kosen-rufu, armed with the Mystic Law,

growing younger year by year as we each keep challenging ourselves joyfully and tenaciously and win victory after victory.”
