-- TO MY FRIENDS --
To my young friends of the Youth Division
who, in addition to making strenuous efforts in their jobs,
are making a tremendous effort in our activities for kosen-rufu!
I urge you to never give up, refuse to be beaten!
Now at this very moment in our lives is the time to take great leaps forwards.
Now is our greatest chance to achieve our human revolution.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Each of you should summon up the courage of a lion king and never succumb to threats from anyone. The lion king fears no other beast, nor do its cubs."

(On Persecutions Befalling the Sage - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 997)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Of course, ideally, all Soka Gakkai leaders would have strong faith, be of outstanding character, and enjoy great trust and respect in society. However, the reality is that many leaders are still in the process of trying to become such people. Therefore, even though there may occasionally be differences of opinion in the organisation, it's important to accept each other with a broad mind and strong sense of self, and strive for unity and advance together in the cause of kosen-rufu. This is also the path to personal development and growth.

"The place of Buddhist practice in the Latter Day of the Law is among other people, in the midst of society with all its troubles and turmoil. Therefore, we cannot let ourselves be swayed by other people's every move, but should continue to embrace our mentor's spirit, have faith in the correct teaching, and advance in Soka Gakkai activities with the aim of attaining Buddhahood in this lifetime and carrying out our human revolution."
