Daisaku Ikeda's Poem

A poem from my mentor Daisaku Ikeda, Soka Gakkai International President

There is something larger than the vast sky

That is my life

There is something deeper than the ocean

That is your life

When winter comes, Spring (peace) is not far away

Now is the very time to sing in a loud voice the song of peace

The deeper the night, the nearer the dawn

This is because human life exists in order to become happy

There is something more precious than the universe
That is the lives of everyone

When the life of a single person is really treasured

Spring(peace)cannot be far away

When winter comes, Spring (peace) is not far away

Now is the very time to sing in a loud voice the song of peace

This is because happiness already exists there
