— TO MY FRIENDS --
One single earnestly devoted person
can help spread a great wave of expansion
and develop strong bonds of unity with everyone.
Let's all take the initiative in taking such action!
Let's never slacken in our repudiation of evil!*
*"You must not retreat a single step! Never slacken in your repudiation of evil!" On reflection, it seems to me that President Toda's guidance on that occasion—to never retreat in the face of evil and to always remember that kosen-rufu is a ceaseless struggle—was his last will and testament to us.
(The Human Revolution, Vol. 12,
"Tranquil Light" chapter.)

"Suffer what there is to suffer, enjoy what there is to enjoy. Regard both suffering and joy as facts of life, and continue chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, no matter what happens. How could this be anything other than the boundless joy of the Law? Strengthen your power of faith more than ever."
(Happiness in This World
- WND, Vol. I, page 681)

"The mentor opens the way for the disciples. Genuine disciples widen and extend that path even further. Ensuring the continuation of the movement for kosen-rufu is the true path of mentor and disciple."
