-- TO MY FRIENDS --
It is vital that we set clear goals
and chant daimoku concretely towards such targets.
The determination that each one of us makes,
in a single moment, creates for boundless results.
For the sake of victory,
let's all be united in our hearts!

"Such persons will enjoy the happiness of the wisdom king Craving-Filled and the good fortune of the heavenly king Vaishravana. Wherever your daughter may frolic or play, no harm will come to her; she will move about without fear like the lion king."

"It has been more than 20 years since I first had the privilege of meeting with Nelson Mandela, the lionlike champion of human rights. Recently, former President Mandela, who had just turned 92, sent me an inscribed copy of his latest book. ...I wish to share these words...as an expression of my deepest respect: 'To the youth of today I also have a wish to make: 'Be the script writers of your destiny and feature yourselves as the stars that show the way towards a brighter future--for our country, our continent and the world.' 'Education is the most powerful weapon we can use to change the world.'"
