-- TO MY FRIENDS --
For the sake of the eternal victory of our movement,
let's constantly be working on an indestructible solidarity
of capable, talented people.
Showing our sincerest respect
for our recently joined and younger members,
let's put our utmost effort into helping them grow and develop
so that they will become even more capable,
even more talented than we are.
That is the very tradition of the SGI.

"Those resolved to seek the way should gather and listen to the contents of this letter."

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The power of the Gohonzon may not be fully apparent overnight, but if you strive earnestly in your Buddhist faith and practice for 10 or 20 years, you will achieve clear and indisputable results.
"Our daily lives are filled with problems. Even when you participate in Soka Gakkai activities, you may also encounter people who show no understanding and make you want to give up. Some of you are no doubt facing problems with your children, or maybe are at odds with your spouse. Others may have a hard time coming up with enough money to travel to meetings, and still others may be struggling with illness.
"But Mr. Toda often said with great conviction: 'If you are diligent in your morning and evening gongyo and your practice of introducing others to the Daishonin's Buddhism, there's no reason you can't succeed at your human revolution. You're certain to become happy. This I guarantee you.'"
