-- TO MY FRIENDS --
In the SGI organisation,
each and every one of us
has a leading role to play.
Let's clarify what the responsibilities
of those in supporting positions are clearly
and together forge ahead based on the principle of
"many in body, one in mind"!
Our solid unity centred on our faith
is the very fuel that powers the movement
for the advancement of world-wide kosen-rufu!

"Although I and my disciples may encounter various difficulties, if we do not harbour doubts in our hearts, we will as a matter of course attain Buddhahood."

"When we strive our hardest to spread the Mystic Law and work for the happiness of others based on our great vow for kosen-rufu, we will accumulate immeasurable treasures of the heart and develop a state of life beyond our wildest expectations.
"Mr. Toda once warmly encouraged members who were struggling with various problems: 'No matter how much you're suffering now, you are all Bodhisattvas of the Earth. Demonstrate the greatness of the Mystic Law through the drama of your life. The time will come when you have changed poison into medicine and you will be able to look back on it with a smile.'"
