-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Daishonin teaches,
"Words echo the thoughts of the mind
and find expression through the voice."*
If we really do have genuine care and concern for our friends,
then our words will definitely echo our thoughts
and touch their hearts.
Let's, therefore, make sure they hear those voices of hope
and concern!

---- WORDS OF THE WEEK ----
To all of our men's and women's student division members,
you are the forerunners of the youth-lead SGI
and the successors of the noble task
of achieving worldwide kosen-rufu.
By exerting yourselves in the two ways of practice and study,
create a new history of victories and successes!

*On June 30, 1957, the student division was formally inaugurated at a meeting held in Tokyo.
