Key Elements of Soka Education
“What is now needed most is for us to conquer our narrow egoism. For the sake of the happiness of both the self and others, each individual urgently requires a reliable philosophy of coexistence and a course of action. I am convinced that this is the key to successful preservation of the world’s environment.” (From A Dialogue between East and West)
