-- TO MY FRIENDS --
To all the young lions of the SGI,
stand up and take the initiative to carry on the
glorious legacy of March 16th, Kosen-rufu Day!*
Burning with the torch of your youthful spirit,
head straight along the great path of
successors!
*On March 16th,1958, more than 6,000 youth attended a
ceremony at the head temple where President Josei Toda
passed the responsibility for the spread
of the Daishonin's Buddhism to all the youth division
members. (The Human Revolution, Vol. 12, "Successors"
chapter)

"And now the place where Nichiren and his followers chant
Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, 'whether... in mountain valleys or
the wide wilderness' (chapter twenty-one, Supernatural
Powers), these places are all the Land of Eternally
Tranquil Light."

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Though having been regarded as something of an underachiever during his
school days at Harrow, Winston Churchill (1874–1965), the wartime British
prime minister, later returned to his alma mater as the nation's prime
minister during World War II and appealed to its students: 'Never give in,
never give in, never, never, never, never.' I have imparted these words to
my beloved students of the Soka schools in the past. And the quote continues
as follows: 'In nothing, great or small, large or petty--never give in
except to convictions of honour and good sense.'"
