Education definitely changes people's lives. This is why the SGI is so earnest when it comes to Buddhist study, which is the highest field of learning; it is the study of human beings and the foremost education. Buddhist study is the soul of the SGI.

I say this for your sake. I know your faith has always been admirable, but now you must strengthen it more than ever. Only then will the ten demon daughters lend you even greater protection.

Wisdom for Modern Life by Daisaku Ikeda
June 12, 2021
 
There may be times when life seems gloomy and dull. When we feel stuck in some situation or other, when we are negative toward everything, when we feel lost and bewildered, not sure which way to turn - at such times we must transform our passive mindset and determine, "I will proceed along this path," "I will pursue my mission today." When we do so a genuine springtime arrives in our hearts, and flowers start to blossom.

Excerpt from Daisaku Ikeda - A Youthful Diary (11 March 1954) p162
 
Spoke one to one with about ten people. Giving personal guidance is difficult. President Toda and the other senior leaders are truly skilled at it. They can grasp thoroughly the nature of the other person's problem and what he or she is seeking, leading that person to a solution. Though it might seem simple, it is really vital. The guidance given by a senior in faith can determine the course of a person's entire life.
