--- TO MY FRIENDS ---
What a joy it is for us to have been born in this time
and to advance together to achieve worldwide kosen-rufu.*
Let's strive together to overcome even the greatest of calamities
and advance together for the sake of the victory of mentor and disciple!
*"What a joy it is for us to have been born in the Latter Day of the Law and to have shared in the propagation of the Lotus Sutra!" - "Letter to Niike", WND-I, page 1026

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
But as regards my ability to endure persecution and the wealth of my compassion for others, I believe they would hold me in awe.

---- WORDS OF THE WEEK ----
Let's all gather to see and hear this recent leaders meeting opening a new era,
celebrating it with all those young Bodhisattvas of the Earth
from all over the world.*
May you lead a life of victory.
May you spread happiness far and wide.
Let's all work together to establish a great youth-led SGI!
*On September 10th, a nationwide youth division leaders meeting combined with HQ leaders meeting was held in Tokyo. 250 SGI youth division members from 55 different countries and territories all over the world also attended. Satellite re-broadcasts of the meeting are planned later this week throughout Japan. Other formats of the meeting will be shown overseas soon after.
