-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The struggles and challenges we undergo for kosen-rufu
will always bear fruit as good fortune and benefit
that shine throughout the three existences.
Therefore today, too, let's set our sites on advancing.
With the spirit to strive
"day by day and month after month,"*
let's write a brand new history of accomplishments!
