Soka definition

Soka literally means "value creation," and the members of the Soka Gakkai International are determined to respond on the deepest level to the challenge of nihilism--the interregnum of values that presently prevails--and to restore those functions that would guide and restrain a runaway civilization. We consider this undertaking to be one of significance even within the greater context of human history.
