— TO MY FRIENDS --
When developing good relations with others,
it is important that our voices be full of vitality
and that we always try to quickly respond.
By showing the utmost sincerity
and swiftly taking the appropriate actions,
let's open up a path to victory and success!
"Our mission as members of the SGI is the realisation of lasting peace, or what the Daishonin refers to as 'establishing the correct teaching for the peace of the land.' Second Soka Gakkai president Josei Toda called on us to spread the philosophy of respect for the dignity of life throughout the world and resolutely protect humanity's right to exist. Together with the youth who are our successors, let's translate his wish into action."

"[Volume eight of theProfound Meaning of the Lotus Sutra] says, 'If one relies upon this Law, then all under heaven will be at peace.' The words 'this Law' refer to the Lotus Sutra [Nam-myoho-renge-kyo]. So there can be no doubt that, if one believes in the Lotus Sutra [Nam-myoho-renge- kyo], then all under heaven will be peaceful and secure.
From The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings, p. 206.
"Everyone desires peace. Nichiren Buddhism offers a sound philosophy for realising that universal wish.
"In a passage preceding the one cited above, Nichiren Daishonin says that the Mystic Law is 'a secret Law that does not deceive any living being' (OTT, 206).
