On Nov. 18, 1930, our first and second presidents Tsunesaburo Makiguchi and Josei Toda, mentor and disciple, established the Soka Gakkai in Tokyo. Our founding month is a month of creating new history. It is also a month in which courageous, self-reliant champions of justice rise purposefully into action. Our founding month is not simply a time for reflecting on the past. It is not a page in some dusty old chronicle. Kosen-rufu is a process of endless creativity and forward momentum that does not permit even a moment’s cessation or stagnation. Our founding month lives on forever in the present, because our victory at each moment, right now, contributes to “founding” an ever-victorious Soka Gakkai that will solidly endure the next 50, next 100 years.

Daisaku Ikeda

Heart-to-heart discussion is always more effective than ordering people around. And because dialogue takes place between individuals, it requires that we respect and value the other person. This sets the stage for lively and enriching discussion meetings.
