“The Light of Hope,” written by the university founder, Daisaku Ikeda

I am very pleased to announce that we have received a special song, “The Light of Hope,” written by the university founder, Daisaku Ikeda, in commemoration of SUA’s 10th anniversary, which we celebrated in May with the 2011 commencement ceremony and the grand opening of the new Soka Performing Arts Center. Inspired by the accomplishments that SUA has achieved over the past ten years, Mr. Ikeda worked on this song over the past two months in preparation for its debut at the President’s Welcome Reception for the incoming Class of 2015. I am deeply moved by his expectations for SUA, our students and each of us in being the light of hope for the future.

I hope that you enjoy this special song from Mr. Ikeda.

Sincerely,

Danny

When I listened this song, I felt encouraged to realize everything that I have determined in my life. I am not student at Soka University yet. However, I received that song as if I was a student at SUA. Congratulations Soka University's students!

Thank you Daisaku Ikeda for your constant support. Thank you Sensei!
