-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Aiming towards achieving the great goal of kosen-rufu,
let's chant daimoku, take action and open up the path to success.
Now is the time for us to exert ourselves bravely and vigorously,*
and create waves of victory!
*"Let us remember that the SGI has greatly developed precisely because we have bravely and vigorously exerted ourselves in faith--that is, with true earnestness.... The present tremendous advance of kosen-rufu has come about because we have earnestly and wholeheartedly taken action for the sake of friends, society and peace."

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"For all of us,
there are times
when we must stand up.
There are crucial moments
when we must fight.
We must take timely and appropriate action,
not letting those opportunities slip by.
And we must win without fail.
This is the path of mentor and disciple
and the eternal essence
of Nichiren Daishonin's Buddhism.
There is no greater source of pride.
