-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Hurray for this wonderful glorious Soka Gakkai Day!
I would like to express my deepest and sincerest

Now, together,
let's make a fresh new start
towards the next 50 years of great victories!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"In view of the accuracy of his prediction, can there be any doubt that, after this period described in the Great Collection Sutra when 'the pure Law will become obscured and lost,' the great pure Law of the Lotus Sutra will be spread far and wide throughout Japan and all the other countries of Jambudvipa?"

(The Selection of the Time - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 550)
