-- TO MY FRIENDS --
It is precisely because of the dedicated effort made by all the members of our Soka-han (who ensure our safety outside our centers), Gajo-kai (who guard our centers), Byakuren Group (who help us in and around our meetings and activities), and all of our other supporting groups that the SGI can be an irreplaceable solidarity for the sake of the world.
Let's give these young people a big round of applause for their selfless devotion!

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Major natural disasters are occurring all over the world. The global economic crisis continues and people are filled with uncertainty. More and more people are seeking a solid spiritual and philosophical mainstay. 'Establishing the correct teaching' means setting forth what is right, raising the banner of truth and justice. It means making genuine respect for the sanctity of life our foundation. 'Establishing the correct teaching' essentially comes down to young people like all of you, who embrace a truly humanistic philosophy and sound principles, standing up courageously and taking action in society."
