— TO MY FRIENDS --
Particularly in regard to family members who are not SGI members,
let's be sure to express our utmost appreciation for all their support
and always be considerate and thoughtful of their situations.
It is because of their kind and warm understanding and support
that kosen-rufu can be achieved.
Together with everyone,
let's advance this great path to happiness!

"In the Gosho, the Daishonin sets forth the principle of 'establishing the correct teaching for the peace of the land'—a principle for building peaceful and prosperous societies, triumphing even over the harsh adversities of war or natural disasters. It is a compass showing the way for uniting all humanity and building a new global society.
"Last year (in November 2013), a long-awaited SGI chapter was formed in Croatia in Eastern Europe, a country recovering from the tragedy of conflict. Dedicated members there are earnestly studying the Gosho and conducting inspiring dialogues with those around them.
"The leaders of the new chapter proudly communicate the spirit: 'Those who have suffered deeply have an unparalleled capacity to demonstrate the power of the Buddha and make their country a model of worldwide kosen-rufu.' 'We are Bodhisattvas of the Earth, who have voluntarily chosen our mission.' 'There is no resignation or retreat in Nichiren Buddhism, which teaches the principle of three thousand realms in a single moment of life, through which the human revolution of a single individual can open the way to happiness for all.'"
SGI Newsletter No. 9019, Living with the Gosho, Striving with the Same Spirit as the Daishonin, from the July 2014 issue of the Daibyakurenge, translation released 18th June, 2014
