The materials for the SGI-USA 2006 study review are really quite good. I feel like the triad of gosho material, essentials of Nichiren Buddhism, and Soka Spirit are right on.

-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Hurrah to the Student Division!
Intellect and character
become the strength to quash
corruption and injustice.
Young people of justice and truth,
challenge yourselves to develop into
balanced and wholesome
human beings.
*Above is an unofficial translation of "To My Friends" based on President
Ikeda's guidance published in the Seikyo Shimbun.
On August 31st, 1962, President Ikeda began his first lecture on the "Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings" to some forty student division representatives. |

The Daishonin states, "The voice does the Buddha's work" (Gosho Zenshu, p. 708). To chant the Mystic Law is to praise the Gohonzon. Hearing the sound of our daimoku, the heavenly deities will be set into motion and work to protect us. A weak and unclear voice will not move the heavenly deities. That is why it is important for us to chant daimoku with voices that are clear, strong and brimming with joy.
