"The essential focus of fostering youth in the Soka Gakkai starts with encouraging young people to have a sense of personal mission for kosen-rufu, the aim of which is the happiness of humanity and peace in the world. The next step is to establish a network that provides mutual inspiration that will encourage and spur growth toward these noble aims. As the 19th-century Italian thinker Giuseppe Mazzini once declared: 'Youth lives on movement, grows great in enthusiasm and faith. Consecrate them with a lofty mission; inflame them with emulation and praise.'"

"It is said that, if a teacher has a good disciple, both will gain the fruit of Buddhahood, but if a teacher fosters a bad disciple, both will fall into hell. If teacher and disciple are of different minds, they will never accomplish anything."
