-- TO MY FRIENDS --
To all the members of the SGI fife and drum corps,
brass band, orchestras and chorus groups,
thank you so much for giving us such encouraging
and rousing performances all the time!
To the "Wonderful Sound" that emanates from your great joy,
let's all advance, advance and advance!
"Bodhisattva Wonderful Sound represents cultural activity. I think we can say that Bodhisattva Wonderful Sound's actions symbolize the SGI's movement for peace, culture and education. We are moving forwards, giving rise to a brilliant heavenly song.... In any case, the fife and drum corps, brass band and chorus groups of the SGI have all developed splendidly. I am particularly proud to witness the growth of all those capable people who accomplished their human revolution through such musical training."
(The Wisdom of the Lotus Sutra, Vol. 6, "The Bodhisattva Wonderful Sound" Chapter)

"The Daishonin writes: 'Even one seed, when planted, multiplies' (WND-2, 602). Seeds cannot sprout if they aren't sown. We need to sow one seed of the Mystic Law after another, sparing no effort. It is through such continuous, tireless actions that kosen-rufu will advance."
