Words of the Week

The "Month of Hope," with a focus on
encouraging Future Division members,
is upon us.(*)
Let's all endeavor to inspire the lives of
these young treasures, helping to
create golden waves of capable successors
who will "form [their] ranks" [for the sake
of kosen-rufu].(**)

(*)In Japan, the Soka Gakkai focuses on encouraging Future Division members, age 6 through 18, during their spring, summer and winter breaks. March is their spring break, and school begins in April.
