-- TO MY FRIENDS --
If we consider ourselves to be leaders of kosen-rufu,
let's initiate decisive action right now,
making the type of resolve as if we were totally reborn!
Each and every day,
let's live out our lives to the fullest,
without having any feelings of regret,
and write our personal victories in history!

"Moreover, even though one may encounter a wise teacher
and the true sutra and thereby embrace the correct
teaching, when one resolves to break free from the
sufferings of birth and death and attain Buddhahood, one
will inevitably encounter seven grave matters known as the
three obstacles and four devils, just as surely as a
shadow follows the body and clouds accompany rain."
(Letter to Misawa - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin,
Vol.1, page 894) Selection source: Soka Gakkai President

"Those who strive for the welfare of others, even while struggling with their own personal difficulties, will achieve greatness. This is a lesson we must never forget.
"In contrast, those who avoid making effort and care only about their own ease and comfort won't achieve greatness. Those who struggle hard and win amid poverty, amid adversity, faraway from the limelight, are the ones who ultimately become truly great human beings."
