-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The most important condition for creating
a harmonious organisation of
'many in body, one in mind,'*
is the unity that exists between those who are in
leadership roles and supporting roles!
On the stage of kosen-rufu, each one of us plays a leading role.
Let's therefore all advance harmoniously on good terms with each other!
*Gosho: 'If the spirit of many in body but one in mind prevails among
the people, they will achieve all their goals' (WND-1, 618).

"Whether or not your prayer is answered will depend on your faith; [if
it is not] I will in no way be to blame."

Vol. 1, page 1079)

—— DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Kosen-rufu is a challenge to establish lasting peace into the eternal future, so there must be successors to whom we can pass on the spiritual baton of our movement. As I wrote in the lyrics of 'Youth with a Noble Vow,' the mentors and disciples of Soka will continue to triumph endlessly as long as we have you, dependable youthful successors.
"The Daishonin encouraged Shijo Kingo, who was bravely battling various hardships, telling him that Buddhism is a struggle to be victorious (cf. WND-1, 835). With the wish that his disciple would achieve a breakthrough in his life, he praised him, saying: 'You are a person who can inherit the soul of the Lotus Sutra' (WND-1, 839).
"…In the course of life's challenges, I hope you will leave a chronicle of victories day after day, while sharing your joy with others in your communities and also passing it on to those who will follow in your footsteps.
"…Joining hands with friends around the globe, let's continue to expand our network of courageous individuals dedicated to creating a better future and cheerfully work together to build a peaceful world."
