Message from SUA Founder Daisaku Ikeda to the Class of 2023
What is needed now more than ever is to forge the kind of solidarity that transcends every difference, from nation-states and ethnicities to thought and religion, and to create a sustainable global society in which the dignity of all people is secured.
Now more than ever, I ask you to manifest the true value of Soka’s global citizens, doing so in good cheer with wisdom and resilience, to brighten our world in this century from the stage of your respective mission in life.
Message from SUA Founder Daisaku Ikeda to the Class of 2022
The time that each of you spend on this campus, cheerfully learning to forge the spirit of indomitability with your fellow students day after day—that is from whence a new world will emerge in this century, to nurture humanity’s capacity to create lasting value.
My beloved graduates, I envision firmly clasping every one of your hands, to send you off with this exhortation: May you brighten civilization in the 21st century like the dawn beaming with hope!
Message from SUA Founder Daisaku Ikeda to the Class of 2021
My beloved graduates of the Classes of 2020, you are the hope and jewel of inestimable value
