-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Respecting our juniors in faith or in life,
nurturing them to surpass even our own abilities and talents --
this has always been the spirit and tradition of the Soka Gakkai.
Let us put in every ounce of our energy into encouraging our juniors
for the sake of our eternal victory!
