-- TO MY FRIENDS --
To all of our young friends
who will carry the next generation on their shoulders,
may you all be at the very forefront of our movement
establishing the correct teaching
for the peace of the land!*
By courageously speaking out
By courageously speaking out
with the spirit like that of a lion's roar,
let's spread the solidarity
let's spread the solidarity
for happiness, justice and truth
as far and wide as we possibly can!
*SGI President Ikeda says, "What matters is that the spirit of the great philosophy of peace expounded in the Lotus Sutra [with its teaching that all people are Buddhas] be given full play in society as a whole. On a societal level, 'establishing the correct teaching' means establishing the concepts of human dignity and the sanctity of life as principles that support and move society." (Rissho Ankoku—Securing Peace for the People - http://www.sgi.org/about-us/buddhism-in-daily-life/rissho-ankoku-securing-peace-for-the-people.html)

"We possess the Gohonzon, which Nichiren Daishonin describes as 'the supreme object of devotion in all of Jambudvipa [the entire world]' (WND-1, 386). The Daishonin urges us: 'Muster your faith, and pray to this Gohonzon. Then what is there that cannot be achieved?' (WND-1, 412).
"Let us walk the great path of compassionate propagation again today with confidence and joy, as we strive with our inspiring fellow members, encouraging one another and chanting together until we achieve our goals!"
