-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The passionate vigour of our Men's Division members
serves as the golden pillars
that sturdily holds together our communities and homes!
I bow in deep respect to the great mission that you all carry
to support and protect all of our fellow members!

"It must be ties of karma from the distant past that have destined you to become my disciple at a time like this. Shakyamuni and Many Treasures certainly realised this truth. The sutra's statement, 'Those persons who had heard the Law dwelled here and there in various Buddha lands, constantly reborn in company with their teachers,'cannot be false in any way."
(The Heritage of the Ultimate Law of Life - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 217)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"[With regard to the term, the 'lion's roar' (shishi ku):] The first shi [which means 'teacher'] of the word shishi, or 'lion,' is the Wonderful Law that is passed on by the teacher. The second shi [which means 'child'] is the Wonderful Law as it is received by the disciples. The 'roar' (ku) is the sound of the teacher and the disciples chanting in unison.
From The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings (cf. OTT, 111).
"As disciples, it's important that we make our mentor's heart our own and let our voices ring out powerfully with our shared commitment to realise the highest good.
"The lion's roar of mentor and disciple chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo has the unrivalled power to knock back all adversity and transform troubled times."

SGI PRESIDENT IKEDA, (5) The Lion's Roar of the Shared Commitment of Mentor and Disciple, translated March 28th, 2011, from the March 28th, 2011, issue of the Seikyo Shimbun.
