-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's make up our minds to take on any kind of challenge or suffering,
no matter how hard it might be!
It's by our unceasing efforts to constantly challenge ourselves
that we can become stronger and even more capable.
Let's all make our very own history of glory and success!

"I entrust you with the propagation of Buddhism in your province."

—— DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all our admirable members whose dedicated efforts are opening the way towards a new era.

"Stating that all living beings in each of the Ten Worlds can attain Buddhahood through the Mystic Law, Nichiren Daishonin writes: 'A lantern [can light] up a place that has been dark for a hundred, a thousand, or ten thousand years' (cf. WND-1, 923).

"Chanting sincerely to help every single person become happy and to share with them the correct teaching of Nichiren Buddhism will open things up in a positive way. I ask each of you to be like the sun, illuminating those around you with the light of hope.

"Each day that we strive side by side for kosen-rufu will shine in the future annals of history. You are all people of lofty brilliance. Together, let's continue to lead lives of great victory, undefeated by anything!"

SGI Newsletter No. 8962, On Our Shared Journey for Kosen-rufu—II, (28) Let's Lead Lives of Great Victory, from 14th July, 2013, issue of the Seikyo Shimbun, translation released 20th March 2014
