My wife, Kaneko, used to take our sons along with her to Soka Gakkai activities when they were young. She would sit with them in front of the Gohonzon and tell them: “Today’s meeting is very important.” Seeing this, a fellow member once asked whether children that young could really understand what she was telling them. My wife replied, “Yes, they do, without a doubt, because I speak from my heart to their hearts.”

Daisaku Ikeda

Only when we recognize that our efforts on others’ behalf are also for our own sake will we be filled with humble appreciation for being able to develop our lives. Our lives and the lives of others are ultimately inseparable. It is vital, therefore, that we follow the bodhisattva way.

Daisaku Ikeda

May 3 has become the day of reaffirming our vow for kosen-rufu. On this day each year, we of the Soka Gakkai, united by the bonds of mentor and disciple, pledge afresh to spread the Mystic Law and make renewed efforts to realize our noble cause. And so it will be forever.
