-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Where people's voices resound with song,
there is advancement full of hope.
Singing aloud "Youth with a Noble Vow*
(Chikai no kimi yo)" together,
let's construct a new era of SGI victories!

"In 'The Doctrine of Three Thousand Realms in a Single Moment of Life,' Nichiren Daishonin offers the following allegory:
"'Suppose, for example, that there are ten persons all of whom have treasures piled up in their respective storehouses. But, being unaware that they have such treasures in their storehouses, they are on the point of starving to death or dying of the cold. Among these ten, however, there is one clever person who awakens to the true situation. The other nine are utterly unable to do so, and must be enlightened by the clever person. . . .' (WND-2, 84)
"The treasures in the storehouse correspond to the Buddha nature, the supremely noble potential that all people inherently possess. Awakening to this inner treasure, the wise person takes action to help others do the same. Such action is the heart of Buddhism."
