-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The eternal mission of the Kanto* area
is to ensure the victory of kosen-rufu!
With the binding power of solid unity
let's break through
whatever limitations we might have.
Let's awaken that great spirit to exert ourselves
Let's awaken that great spirit to exert ourselves
bravely and vigorously,
and throw open a path to eternal victory!

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Holding only large meetings can become very one-sided and makes it difficult to bring forth members' true potential. A genuine leader is someone who engages in meaningful, one-to-one dialogue with others, who inspires others to stand up in faith through warm, caring encouragement. The determination that arises in members' hearts as a result is enduring and becomes a catalyst for further growth.
"One ripple can produce countless others. In this way, the ripple created by your efforts to visit one member and engage sincerely with them will give rise to untold more. This has been the secret to the Soka Gakkai's present development." (Speech, December 16, 1996)
