NOW is the crucial moment!

The coming SD Anniversary is themed "Humanitarian Competition! Be Catalyst of Hope!", named after Ikeda Sensei's 2009 Peace Proposal to the UN.

Let's go out there and invite as many people as possible to this anniversary, be it our inactive fellow members, our schoolmates or friends.

Renew our Conviction

NPSD has targeted to invite a total of 50 YMDs and 60 YWDs to this gathering. In a campaign, we must know how far are we from victory. How strong or weak we are. 110 attendees is not a small number, yet, if each of us just reach out to 2-3 friends, we can easily reached or even surpassed our goal!

Remember the 'Ever-Victorious Kansai Campaign' in HR Chapter, Determination? To be victorious,EVERY member must have firm conviction in faith!

The more difficult the goal, the more necessary it is for every member to joyfully strive to fulfill the objective.

Chanting concrete and confident Daimoku

Despite the hostile encounters or countless rejections we might face, we (of the SGI) pray earnestly to the Gohonzon no matter what happens, with 'a mind that is gentle and forbearing'. Chant sincere daimoku with the thought, "This person also has the Buddha nature. I will send daimoku to the pure reservoir of Buddhahood in their lives."

Offering prayers is a decisive struggle. The prayers we make reflects on our life state. The thoughts in our hearts are clearly expressed to the Gohonzon. So we have to make concrete, earnest and determined prayers.

Believe in yourself and the power of the Gohonzon.

We are not practicing an authoritarium Buddhism, we cannot say that only leaders, or high priests or people who 'rub shoulders with a higher power (God/Immortal) are capable of propagating this Mystic Law. We ALL are capable!!

Genuine leaders are those who believe that ALL people have the potential to grow and develop. We must never forget that this Buddha nature in inherent in each of our lives.

Never belittle another human being or think they are just capable of attending meetings or going out for fun. We need to help our friends to be better than before! We have a duty to help every member breakthrough their lives and be significant Buddhas, who will in turn contribute to society as well!

Of course, inviting them to this meeting might not be easy, but with sincere dialogue and the thought that each of these members is a precious younger brother/sister of Ikeda Sensei, we can eventually invite them to this gathering.

If our mentor were to ask us to look after his younger siblings, we would be concerned about their faith, but also their lives and even their eating habits. We would encourage them daily and no matter how hostile they might be, we will want these members to grow.

Let's go out there NOW and speak to everyone about this wonderful Mystic Law and invite them to our coming Anniversary. Yes, we might not have time on our side. But within the next 24-36 hours, let's do our utmost to light the life of one more person, and lead them out of the sea of suffering!

If not now, then when?
If not me, then who?
