-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The power of our youth is indispensable
in order for us to be constantly and unremittingly victorious.
Let us develop a strong consolidation of capable young people to take the lead!
The time has come for the genuine members of the youth division to reveal their true
and essential identity,*
to boldly stand at the vanguard and gloriously lead our movement of truth and
justice.

* Casting off the transient and revealing the true: The revealing of a Buddha's true
status as a Buddha, and the setting aside of that Buddha's provisional or transient
identity. http://www.sgilibrary.org/search_dict.php

* The "transient" to be cast off is weakness; it is cowardice. The Daishonin, by
manifesting his "true identity" of courage, demonstrated for all people the principle
of "casting off the transient and revealing the true." It is by standing up to all
hardships with determination, by making the Daishonin's courageous spirit our own,
that we can actualise this principle.
