-- TO MY FRIENDS --
A brand new history of our kosen-rufu movement
is about to unfold starting with our beloved land of Hokkaido.
Friends of the land of Hokkaido
- the castle of the great struggles of the three presidents -
I hope that you will resolutely stand up to the challenges ahead!
Let's you and I together be able to demonstrate
what victory and success is to our friends,
as we win in our historic struggles ahead!

"Nam-myoho-renge-kyo is like the roar of a lion. What sickness can
therefore be an obstacle?"

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"My mentor, second Soka Gakkai president Josei Toda, was always eager to take on ever greater challenges.

"Great challenges give us the opportunity to carry out our human revolution and change our karma more quickly. They open wide the road to attaining Buddhahood in this lifetime.

"Thanking members for their tireless efforts, Mr. Toda once said: 'If we persevere in faith, enormous benefit will clearly manifest in our life—and I mean truly extraordinary benefit. We of the Soka Gakkai are firmly committed to realising kosen-rufu and establishing the correct teaching for the peace of the land. Therefore, let's share our convictions without hesitation! The Gohonzon is aware of all our efforts. Knowing that, don't you feel courage rising within you?'

"These words capture the eternal and unchanging Gakkai spirit."
