So you've heard all about the Ikeda Kayo-kai? Well here's the place where you can get all the background information and resources you need! To begin with, here's a memo from our SGI-USA YWD leader, Vinessa Shaw:
Hi Ladies!!
I wanted to share with you the memo that was sent to me regarding the formation of the Ikeda Kayo-Kai Group of the Second Act! Please share this with all the YWD around the nation!!!
I want everyone to be able to take this opportunity to dedicate themselves as members of this group as soon as possible! As is shared in this message from our International YWD Leader, Ms. Tateno, let's all meet in the year 2030 to share how far we have come!
Please read the Human Revolution, Vol.2, p.888, to read about the beginning of President Toda's Kayo-Kai in 1952. This group was comprised of 20 young women whom gathered twice a month to receive guidance and training from President Toda directly. They spoke about a wide range of topics regarding humanity. As is said on this page, the young women "pledged to themselves to fulfill their mission, no matter how difficult. For Toda, these meetings were excellent opportunities to intensely train those young people who would soon grow to be full-fledged phoenixes." Wow!!
Even though we are not physically with our mentor at this time, let's take this opportunity to receive direct training from his writings and the writings Sensei read during his youth to become these "phoenixes of the Second Act"!
Please write to Sensei to share your determinations and your hopes and dreams as a young woman of the Ikeda Kayo-Kai Group of the Second Act.
Your Soka Sister,
Vinessa Shaw
