SGI Countries – Year of Developing a Youthful SGI (Taiwan WD Activities)
After getting to know about the recent persecutions to some of the
youths in SSA, some questions arose in my mind. What really
happened? Have the youths really committed some grievous mistakes
such that they had to be removed from their leadership and most
ridiculously, for a MD member to be expelled? With these doubts
and unease in my mind, I happened to pick up a recent article
which is the organ paper which I subscribed from Taiwan Soka
Association (TSA).
On the headline of this article, the SGI theme “Youthful SGI Year of Expansion” for this year was printed and this article was clearly dedicated to the Women Division. Together with the headline, what caught my attention were the words “辉耀使命 传承师心 笑容满盈的创价母亲“ The title has clearly stated the direction in which our dear mentor, President Ikeda had wanted us, the Women Division (WD) to live out our lives.
As I continue to read on, I was very touched by President Ikeda’s high hopes for the WDs. President Ikeda emphasized in this article that the WDs must be the driving force in fostering capable youths. WDs must be as embracing and warm as the sun. WDs must base everything on strong prayers. WDs must engage in heart-to-heart dialogues. Most importantly, the WDs must foster youths who inherit and uphold their vows to their mentor. Further to that, President Ikeda encourages the WDs to be always warm-hearted and cheerful, to uphold the undefeated spirit to live out our lives and to show actual proof in our family and society.
In this article, the five guidelines of happiness given to the women division were also printed.
1) Everything begins with prayer.
2) Advance harmoniously with our families.
3) Foster young successors.
4) Cherish our communities and societies.
5) Joyfully share our experiences in faith.
After reading through this article a few times, I think our mentor has given us the clearest direction in his most strict and compassionate guidance. Throughout the entire article, President Ikeda has repeatedly entrusted the WDs with the important mission of fostering the youths into capable Kosen-rufu successors in this article. Even the SGI theme for this year places great importance on the youths. As a disciple, how do we fulfill our mentor’s wish for SGI in every country to be filled with youthful successors? This makes me ponder if we have done enough as adult division to engage the YMDs in heart to heart dialogues before the 5 YMDs were removed? Have we set the role example of a warm and embracing Soka mother to find out the truths before we cruelly execute them and banish them from practicing on the great path to happiness? Perhaps it was due to some petty differences in thinking and way of working and as WDs, have we done our part to harmonise the unity of the other divisions?
In the article, the following was stated:
活动重点
一, 建构温馨创价家族,全力培育后续
(一)培育自己的子女成广布人才。
(二)支持青年,扩大青年,培育青年成广布人才
(三)培育妇人部年轻后续人才

四,充实[组],[地区],彻底鼓励每一个人

(三)正副职密切结合,发挥整体力量
I believe if all had been done according to President Ikeda’s guidance in this article, things would not have turned out the worst in this situation. The YMDs and the MD would still be practicing happily in this SSA family.
