Daisaku Ikeda

Peace can never be attained by passively waiting for it. It is necessary for each of us, no matter how weak we may feel we are, to build deep within our hearts a stronghold for peace that can withstand, and in the end silence, the incessant calls for war.

Human society can be full of contradictions. It can be unfair; unforgiving, too. Yet we cannot afford to turn our backs to the world. A person who does loses, and no excuse can gloss that over. Given a choice whether to sink or swim, one must swim to the very end, no matter how the seas around us may rage.

It’s time to achieve a new, resounding
victory toward the “Year of Departure for
a Youthful Soka Gakkai Worldwide.”
Let’s continue to follow through on our
vow of mentor and disciple and play out
a victorious drama of human revolution!
Let’s unite our hearts as one with our fellow
members as we grapple with our shared
struggles together!
