-- TO MY FRIENDS --
To all the members of the Memorial Services division:
thank you so much for all your noble efforts
(in conducting memorial services for
our friends who have passed away)!*
The great vow to achieve the noble mission
of kosen-rufu shines brilliantly,
and flowers of good fortune bloom magnificently
in the hope-filled and refreshing atmosphere of Soka Gakkai's memorial services!
* Japan has a tradition of conducting Buddhist memorial services for the deceased during the equinoctial weeks.
