-- TO MY FRIENDS --
My dear friends from Saitama with your iron-like unity*!
Glory and good fortune will certainly shower upon all of you
who are striving so very hard to realize a momentous goal!
Raising high the banner of kosen-rufu,
let us all passionately engage in meaningful dialogue
with as many people as we possibly can!
* In a speech to Saitama members in 1973, President Ikeda elaborated the goals and mission of the Saitama area. From his speech emerged the words "iron-like unity", which has since become the catchphrase for all Saitama members.

"Iron, when heated in the flames and pounded, becomes a fine sword. Worthies and sages are tested by abuse."

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The first step towards peace and compassion begins with the courage to uphold the truth of Buddhism, no matter what. Mr. Toda often used to say, 'We can substitute courage for compassion. The courage to speak the truth is the equivalent of compassion.' Our personal human revolution is overcoming our cowardice and courageously initiating a struggle.'"
SGI Newsletter No. 8031, The New Human Revolution--Vol. 23: Chap. 3, Courage 47, translated July 6th, 2010
