17/3/15 12:54:22 pm: Kwee! Chang: March 16 is now viewed within the Soka Gakkai and the SGI as a day of new departures, "of eternal beginnings and perpetual hope." It is also an occasion for focusing on fostering capable youth.
Mr. Ikeda has stated, "It is a time when people renew their profound resolution to accomplish kosen-rufu, a time when they put their minds together and make a fresh start." The Japanese phrase kosen-rufu is often interpreted as "world peace through individual happiness." It signifies a vision of social peace brought about by the widespread acceptance of core values such as unfailing respect for the dignity of human life. On an individual level, it involves the construction of a state of life of indestructible happiness through a process of "human revolution" or inner-motivated change. On a broader societal level, it means building a peaceful society through contribution to their families and local communities made by individuals who are actively transforming their own lives.
时至今日，创价学会及SGI视3月16日（即3‧16）为一个象征"无穷希望的新起点"，且是倾力培育青年之日。
池田会长曾提到："3‧16是以焕然一新的决意再次为广宣流布奋斗的日子，也是全体会员本着异体同心的精神，朝向新的出发前进之日。"所谓广宣流布，就是秉持使万人皆能获得幸福的佛法哲理，推进世界和平之意。从个人层面来看，是指进行所谓的"人性变革"（或称"人间革命"），即改革自己的意识，于内心建立起坚如盘石的幸福境界。而从较广的社会层面来看，即意味着致力于"人性变革"的每一个人，皆对家庭和社区做出贡献，由此创造祥和的社会及世界。
