Soka Education
Ikeda on the Soka brand of education (Ikeda, 127):
Soka is Japanese for "value creation." "The only value in the true sense is that of life itself. All other values arise solely within the context of interaction with life." ...The fundamental criterion for value ... is whether something adds to or detracts from, advances or hinders, the human condition.
The ultimate goal of Soka, or value-creating, education is to foster people of character who continuously strive for the greatest good - that of peace - who are committed to protecting the sanctity of life and who are capable of creating value under even the most difficult circumstances.
Only a human being can foster another human being. It takes a truly humanistic person to raise a truly humanistic person. Schoolteachers and others dedicated to developing people carry out a task of immeasurable value. The effects of this task will last forever (Ikeda, 213).
