"As we grow older, we often have more free time. We can spend more of it offering personal encouragement, speaking to others about Buddhism, fostering friendships, and contributing to our communities.


"The rich life experience we have accumulated—including our failures—becomes a powerful source of strength as we encourage others and talk about Buddhism. Faith enables us to make the most of every aspect of our lives."

"...there is another universe within your reach —the universe of your mind! The potential of your mind is as infinite as the universe. The way to limitlessly bring forth that potential is through learning. The more you use and nurture your mind, the more it becomes a treasure chest overflowing with boundless riches.


"Learning is therefore a challenge to expand, brighten, and enrich your inner universe. Everything you strive to learn becomes a sun of wisdom and a star of hope shining in your life.


"Those who continue learning throughout their lives are never defeated. May you illuminate your family and friends, the world and the future, with the strong and hope-filled light of learning.”

"How we live our later years determines the final outcome of our lives. Even if we have overcome hardships and given our all in Soka Gakkai activities since our youth, we cannot achieve ultimate victory in life if our resolve for kosen-rufu wanes in our golden years.

"What is called faith is nothing unusual. Faith means putting one’s trust in the Lotus Sutra, Shakyamuni, Many Treasures, the Buddhas and bodhisattvas of the ten directions, and the heavenly gods and benevolent deities, and chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo as a woman cherishes her husband, as a man lays down his life for his wife, as parents refuse to abandon their children, or as a child refuses to leave its mother."

"For all members to strive joyfully in their Buddhist practice and become happy, we need a network of encouragement that reaches everyone without exception. The senior members who comprise the guidance division play a pivotal role in that network.


"Furthermore, if members who are awakened to their social mission as a result of this encouragement take the lead in creating circles of goodwill and friendship in their communities, they will forge a new safety net that brings security and peace of mind to the people.


"In other words, senior members’ daily efforts to encourage others will surely be significant in relieving the alienation and isolation that plague modern society."

"Aorganisation ultimately consists of connections between people. And these connections grow stronger only when based on mutual respect and trust.


"Undeniably, however, those holding central leadership positions in their local organisations—such as block (now district) and chapter leaders—have a host of responsibilities, including attending meetings and overseeing day-to-day administration. This often leaves them little time for giving one-to-one guidance. 


"This is where senior members with years of taking responsibility for organisational activities and with a wealth of experience in both faith and life can play an invaluable role. By supporting leaders at every level and devoting themselves to offering personal guidance, they can inspire countless individuals in faith and foster capable people for kosen-rufu.


"In a sense, the presence of such senior members is a “lifeline of faith” for each member,

a vital root system of support for our movement. This is why Shin’ichi once referred to the

guidance division as the 'Red Cross of kosen-rufu.’"

"The Daishonin teaches us that ‘Buddhism is reason' (WND-1, 839). When setting activity guidelines and the like, it's essential to explain the intent so that everyone will be happy to support them. That is, always speak reasonably. Reason has the power to convince people. That's why I hope you will deepen your understanding of the Daishonin's teachings.”
