-- TO MY FRIENDS --
It's a leader's energy and enthusiasm that is the driving force to rock the era.
"I shall make a new history of kosen-rufu that is encouraging for all to see!"
Daimoku with such an unwavering determination
is what decides victory and success.

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Organising or uniting efforts for the sake of a positive cause is the essence of an organisation or network dedicated to good like the SGI. It is a mistake to interpret unity or the idea of an organisation as something necessarily restrictive or oppressive. All organisations grow out of personal relationships or connections. Unity is ultimately built on mutual trust between individuals.
"As youth division members, for instance, such ties can be forged through listening sympathetically to someone's problems and helping them find a solution; participating in activities together; or even going out for a meal or coffee together.
"Please remember that SGI gatherings should also be enjoyable and harmonious.
"When we look at Nichiren Daishonin's behaviour, we can't help but be impressed by how much he cared about each person he interacted with. Even while in exile on Sado, as soon as he learned of disturbances breaking out in Kamakura and Kyoto, he asked to have news regarding the safety of a number of individual followers sent to him (cf. WND-1, 306).
"It is important for us to treasure each person we encounter and work together."
