-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The prophecy of Worldwide Kosen-rufu has been
and will be realised by the SGI.
Now, all of our young successors,
begin a new history of developing a new era.
Carry on forever the noble task of sharing
this hope-filled philosophy with as many people as possible!

"At this perfect time for the SGI to embark on a new phase of development as a world religion, let us set forth confidently, sharing our convictions with others and imparting warm encouragement and hope to those who are suffering. Let us create a world 'where living beings enjoy themselves at ease'—a world where all people can lead happy and fulfilling lives."
