An old adage goes,
“Adversity makes a person wise.”
The greater the troubles and hardships
you face, the greater the growth
you will achieve by surmounting them.
Oh, young successors,
aim for the peak of challenges
with an indomitable spirit!

Where there is song, there is progress.
In times of joy and in times of hardship,
we always advance together with
Soka Gakkai songs.
With our hearts bursting with hopes and
dreams for kosen-rufu, let’s write the
story of our human revolution!

When we open and read the gosho
we are able to develop our life condition
and manifest the strength to advance.
Let’s spend the summer seeking out and
learning from Nichiren Daishonin’s spirit
so that we can grow as individuals!
