-- TO MY FRIENDS --
It's a leader's growth
that is the driving force to the expansion of an organisation.
By making the very best of efforts
to avoid inertia and negligence in our practice,
let's challenge to surmount the obstacles we now face.
Let's stand up with a truly vibrant and refreshed faith!

"Small things matter. Steady, continuous efforts will produce brilliant victories.
"I learned the following important points for leaders of kosen-rufu from my mentor, second Soka Gakkai president Josei Toda:
1) Giving personal guidance
2) Valuing small meetings
3) Speaking respectfully
4) Staying in regular contact with members
5) Showing consideration for members' families
6) Respecting each member's circumstances
"It's important that we take concrete action so that everyone can advance joyfully and in high spirits."
