-- TO MY FRIENDS --
It's only by carrying out one's vow,
can one really prove to be a "youth" of Soka.
With the sun of oneness of mentor and disciple continually
shining in our hearts,
and always passionately embracing hope,
let us advance, advance and advance!

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Hans Henningsen, eminent Danish educator and former principal of Denmark's renowned Askov Folk High School, has praised the SGI's commitment to dialogue. He asserts that the more courage one has, the more meaningful dialogue can be, and that positive dialogue contributes to building a better world.

"My friends, by courageously and steadfastly reaching out to others in dialogue, sow the seeds for victory and bring brilliant flowers of happiness to bloom!

"Through our continuous,
persistent efforts
to advance kosen-rufu,
the path to boundless victory
will be brightly illuminated."

SGI Newsletter No. 7997, June Editorial, 'Still I Am Not Discouraged,' from the June 2010 issue of Daibyakurenge, translated May 18th, 2010
