It's important that "leaders" waste no time in getting involved
where activities are taking place for kosen-rufu.
Let's talk with and get to know each member, one by one,
and so nurture a new group of capable and talented people.
Let's initiate a new surge of advancement in our movement!

"Nichiren Daishonin declares: 'Only by defeating a powerful enemy can one prove one's real strength' (WND-1, 302). These are turbulent times. Your days, therefore, may be a constant tale of perseverance and struggle as all kinds of obstacles assail you. But the more formidable the 'adversaries' of challenges and hardships you face, the stronger you can become."
SGI Newsletter No. 9074, On Our Shared Journey for Kosen-rufu—II, Challenges Make Us Stronger, from the 29th Sep., 2013, issue of the Seikyo Shimbun, translation released 28th Aug. 2014
