-- TO MY FRIENDS --
An enduring unshakable friendship is one of the most valuable assets in life
that we can ever have!
The lives of those who live with pride and integrity
will as a matter of course shine gloriously and victoriously.

"Leave such people strictly alone. The time will certainly come when, by the workings of Brahma, Shakra, and other gods, the entire Japanese nation will simultaneously take faith in the Lotus Sutra. At that time, I am convinced, many people will insist that they too have believed since the very beginning."
(The Workings of Brahma and Shakra - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol. 1, page 800) Selection source: SGI President Ikeda's poem, Seikyo Shimbun, December 23rd, 2012

"My mentor, second Soka Gakkai president Josei Toda, said: 'Daimoku is the great good medicine that can cure everything, from personal problems to the challenges facing society and humanity as a whole. The key is to decide to win through faith and keep on chanting to the very end. Daimoku is a source of limitless courage.'"
