-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Daishonin asserts,
"Though evils may be numerous,
they cannot prevail over a single great truth."*
Justice and truth--these are what the Soka spirit is all about.
It is absolutely certain that the Daishonin
is proudly admiring our SGI's great noble advancement.

---- WORDS OF THE WEEK ----
We are victorious!
Thank you all so much for all your hard work
and dedicated efforts throughout this year.
The blessings and wisdom that we have accumulated are immeasurable.*
Again, next year,
with the spirit of the inseparability of mentor and disciple,
let's strive together and be victorious together!
*"The blessings and wisdom of the objective and subjective worlds are immeasurable. Nam-myoho-renge-kyo has these two elements of blessings and wisdom."
