The vibrant heart-to-heart interaction we share is a truly wonderful source of vitality for living long, healthy, and fulfilling lives.The Soka Gakkai is an unsurpassed haven of eternity, happiness, true self, and purity.

Mr. Toda remarked: “Outwardly, we might look like a ‘Bodhisattva Poverty’ or ‘Bodhisattva Sickness,’ but that is merely a role we’re playing in the drama of life. We are in fact bona fide Bodhisattvas of the Earth!” He also said, “People who have battled serious illness really understand the profundity of life.”Everything in life has a meaning.
