-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The courage not to be blown down in any type of gale
--this is the very spirit of the Shin'etsu* region of the Soka Gakkai!
In such areas of great pride
where the bond of mentor and disciple is firmly rooted,
may people stand with a strong challenging spirit and
establish great new lands full of respectworthy capable people!

*Shin'etsu region - Nagano and Niigata prefectures on the mainland of Honshu, Japan.
