Spring is beautiful.

The growth of a youthful life is even more beautiful.

In growth lies a limitless future.

When one strives mightily for one's goals, nothing is

impossible.

Around 110 participants that consist of UTAR students from KL (ACAD R) and Penang students (ACAD S and ACAD V) had a Student Division Exchange Meet on 27 and 28 September 2008 at Bukit Tambun Culture Centre, Penang.

The objectives of the exchange meet are to deepen the understanding on Nichiren Daishonin’s philosophy, to instill the importance of study for student division, to instill a sense of purpose in every student and mission as a future leader for Gakkai and society, and to build up a strong bond of friendship and comradeship among student division members.

During the exchange meet, the participants were divided into small groups to discuss and relate the current world situations. Using study materials from New Human Revolution (Volume 56 & 58) and Nichiren Daishonin’s Buddhism, students are able to grasp the true meaning of human revolution and kosen-rufu. Every participant is given chance to share their opinions on kosen-rufu in changing and improving the current world situations.

Besides that, a video which was about sensei’s kosen-rufu for the past 50 years was played in order to give the participants an opportunity to understand and realize our own mission of kosen-rufu. All the participants resolute to stand up and carry out mission of kosen-rufu in the 2nd Act of kosen-rufu as “courageous successors”.

"Awakening to one's mission in life is to have a solid foundation as a human being. Such a person can rapidly develop their talents to the fullest degree.

Marie Curie wrote: 'You cannot hope to build a better world without improving the individuals. To that end each of us must work for [our] own improvement, and at the same time share a general responsibility for all humanity, our particular duty being to aid those to whom we think we can be most useful.' She believed that each person should transform their own destiny, become aware of their responsibility to humanity as a whole, and extend a hand to assist those in suffering and need. This is a belief that resonates strongly with the Soka philosophy of human revolution."
