-- TO MY FRIENDS --
It's time for our fresh and new capable and talented people
to step up and take the stage.
Come my friends,
hoist high the flag of justice and courage.
Hurrah for the great solidarity of our youth!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"The reason that you have survived until now when so many have died was so that you would meet with this affair."

(Reply to Yasaburo - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 829)
Selection source: Soka Gakkai member's experience, Seikyo Shimbun, April 25th, 2010

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"As Nichiren Daishonin writes: 'The Law does not spread by itself: because people propagate it, both people and the Law are respectworthy' (GZ, 856).

"It all comes down to our awareness of our mission and responsibility as leaders. It comes down to whether we are able to really exert ourselves bravely and vigorously in our efforts for kosen-rufu, taking pride and joy in them and seeing them as a source of good fortune and benefit. This is a point I'd like to emphasise.

"A life dedicated to kosen-rufu, aspiring for the happiness of all humanity, is the most wonderful life possible. As leaders of kosen-rufu, we may go through many hardships, but the joy and growth we experience will be all the greater as a result. We will savour a state of life hundreds and thousands of times more sublime than any millionaire or monarch.

"All of you, my friends are noble champions of this spirit."
