-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Today will never come again.
What is my challenge for the day?
What is my mission for the day?
By chanting daimoku
with a determined vow,
let's start a fresh new day
each and every morning!

"On May 3rd, 1979, after [formally stepping down as third Soka Gakkai president and] travelling from Soka University in Hachioji, Tokyo, to the Kanagawa Culture Centre [in Yokohama], I inscribed the words 'Summit of Mentor and Disciple' in calligraphy.
"I wrote this calligraphy before the two calligraphies reading 'Shared Struggle' and 'Justice' [written on May 3rd and May 5th, respectively].
"We have a 'Summit of the Shared Struggle of Mentor and Disciple' that is unshaken by the fiercest onslaughts of the three obstacles and four devils.
"We have a 'Summit of Justice of Mentor and Disciple' that proudly flies the banner of 'establishing the correct teaching for the peace of the land,' unbending before even the most powerful opponent.
"As true comrades, connected by the most profound karmic ties, striving together in a shared struggle at this time, let's make the lion's roar of Nam-myoho-renge-kyo resound and forge ahead with even greater unity of purpose to ensure that our 'Summit of the Eternal Victory of Mentor and Disciple' towers majestically for all future generations."
