-- TO MY FRIENDS --
I hope that leaders will always give their very best
to supporting the development and growth of our fellow members
so that each person can unlock their full potential
and become capable leaders themselves.
One by one, carefully and considerately,
let's continue to inspire others with warm heartfelt encouragement.
Fostering capable people is the cause for great hope in our future.

"Now for the past twenty-eight years, since the fifth year of the Kencho era [1253], cyclical sign mizunoto-ushi, the twenty-eighth day of the fourth month, until the present, the twelfth month of the third year of the Koan era [1280], cyclical sign kanoe-tatsu, I, Nichiren, have done nothing else, but have laboured solely to put the five or seven characters of Myoho-renge-kyo into the mouths of all the living beings of the country of Japan."

"Japanese author Shugoro Yamamoto (1903–67) wrote: 'Once people have a goal of their own, they will not be beaten by poverty or insult or the worst persecution, but will strive to realise that goal as long as they have breath in their body. That's the most humane way to live.'[1]"
