-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The new age of the Future Division has begun.
Let's warmly foster and develop these shining treasures of hope for the
future of humankind --
the young successors of our Future Division, in the garden of Soka.
Let's raise every one of them into remarkable, capable individuals
ready to take on the task of kosen-rufu!

"The wonderful means of truly putting an end to the physical and
spiritual obstacles of all living beings is none other than
Nam-myoho-renge-kyo."

—— DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ——
"Nichiren Daishonin repeatedly stresses to his followers the importance of the power of the voice: 'The voice does the Buddha's work' (cf. OTT, 4); 'Unrelentingly proclaim [the Mystic Law]' (WND-1, 394); and 'When a lion roars all the other beasts are silenced' (WND-1, 959).
"Kosen-rufu is a struggle of words. It was so in the Daishonin's time; it is so today, and will remain so into the eternal future. That's why our voices are important; they are our weapon, our ammunition. If we keep proclaiming the truth, our words are certain to touch the hearts of those we talk to. If we continue to speak out for justice, we will be able to defeat wrongdoing and injustice. An earnest voice, an impassioned voice will reach and move people's hearts."
