"As you know, in an orchestra, many different instruments—each producing diverse sounds and rhythms—are combined to create music. If the orchestra lacked even one instrument, the symphony would be incomplete. Each instrument has its own precious mission. The same is true of people.
"Kosen-rufu, especially, is an effort to unite the hearts of people of different languages and cultures, draw out the best from each, and create a grand symphony of peace….
"…Forming a connection with other people is important. As human beings, everything starts with each of us developing ties with others, forging bonds of friendship, and winning trust.
"Peace begins by caring for the person in front of us. At times, there are bound to be people we don't like or have trouble getting along with, but the more different they are from us, the more we can learn from them. The important thing is to have courage, speak to others, and make wise efforts to forge friendships. This is the first step to becoming admirable global citizens who can unite humanity around the world."
