Our founding president, Tsunesaburo Makiguchi, used to say, “Unless you have the courage to be an enemy of those who are evil, you cannot be a friend to the good.” Unless we have the courage to combat injustice, we contribute to it.

Daisaku Ikeda

The more you suffer, the more sadness you experience, and the more daimoku you chant, the more profound a life you will lead. All will serve to nourish your growth into leaders of the twenty-first century.

Daisaku Ikeda

I believe that any revolution that is genuine—that truly serves the needs of the people—will also clearly manifest itself in the family. Such a family-based revolution is the most fundamental and lasting kind of revolution; it will create an enduring groundswell and become the tide of the times that no one can hold back.
