-- TO MY FRIENDS --
To all of our Young Men's and Women's Division leaders,
who are taking the lead for a youthful SGI,
be victorious and glorious on your own life stage!
By chanting daimoku with conviction
and offering words of warm encouragement to each other,
let's expand the solidarity of the Bodhisattvas of the Earth!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"As first one person, then two, then a thousand, ten thousand, a hundred thousand, and then all the people throughout the country come to chant the daimoku, before you know it, their blessings will accrue to you. Those blessings will be like the drops of dew that gather to form the great ocean, or the specks of dust that pile up to become Mount Sumeru."
(The Blessings of the Lotus Sutra

"People are seeking a philosophy that will lead to genuine happiness. They are earnestly searching, from the depths of their beings, for a new movement dedicated to helping everyone reveal their inherent dignity and, through the power of dialogue, expanding a network of good and creating a world of harmony and peaceful coexistence.

"Upholding the banner of Nichiren Daishonin's ideal of 'establishing the correct teaching for the peace of the land,' the Soka Gakkai will steadfastly continue to pursue the mission of realising social change for the sake of people's happiness and world peace. This is the essence of a religion that exists to serve human beings and the fundamental spirit of Buddhism. It is proof that our efforts are in exact accord with the spirit of Nichiren Daishonin. It is also the very heart of the shared struggle of mentor and disciple in the Soka Gakkai.
"The original aim of Buddhism is not to be satisfied simply with the attainment of one's own enlightenment. True enlightenment impels one to take action for the happiness of all people."
SGI Newsletter No. 9317, Learning from the Writings of Nichiren Daishonin: The Teachings for Victory <Final Installment>, [71] "On Establishing the Correct Teaching for the Peace of the Land," Engaging in Dialogues of Hope to Bring Happiness and Peace to All People, from the April 2015 issue of the Daibyakurenge, translation released 13 Nov. 2015
