It is only in the happiness of our dear fellow members
that we can experience true happiness ourselves.
Let's lead noble lives by dedicating ourselves
to helping people become happy.
Let's all live youthful lives by fulfilling the vow
that we made (for the sake of kosen-rufu).
And let us determinedly advance together
on the greatest path of "Mentor and Disciple"!
* On August 14, 1947, President Ikeda first encountered his mentor, Josei Toda.

Today marks the 60th anniversary where Sensei first encountered his mentor and immediately sparked the birth of the mentor and disciple relationship between our 2nd and 3rd presidents. What a significant day for Sensei and SGI! And to think, this relationship grew from one single discussion meeting. All the more reason for us as youth to support our Men's Division at our district discussion/general meetings this month! :o) ~Brit
