-- TO MY FRIENDS --
In an organisation which is thriving
with members actively participating,
the leaders in vice positions
are very much involved in what is going on.
It's vital therefore, to have such momentum,
that the central figures take the initiative
in constantly seeking out
their vices' opinions and support.
Let's be victorious
by having great teamwork
between our leaders and the vice leaders!

"I will be the pillar of Japan. I will be the eyes of Japan. I will be the great ship of Japan. This is my vow, and I will never forsake it!."

"No matter what kind of father, mother, or siblings you may have, if you attain Buddhahood, you can lead all of them to enlightenment as well. The heart of Soka lies in building a happy, strong self.
"Many labour under the delusion that marriage equals happiness. Remaining single by no means excludes you from enjoying happiness. The important thing is to build an unshakeable self, set on a foundation of correct faith. This is the way to true happiness."
SGI Newsletter No. 9388, The Wisdom for Creating Happiness and Peace, Part 2: Human Revolution, Chap. 17: Message for Youth [Part 2 of 4], 17.8 To Young Women's Division Members, from the January 2016 issue of the Daibyakurenge, translation released 22nd April, 2016
