-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's always show our appreciation and respect
to our uncrowned heroes,
who are always advancing
who are always advancing
along a silver path with their heads held high
delivering the Seikyo Shinbun
delivering the Seikyo Shinbun
and all our other SGI publications
to readers' doors.
I hope that you won't push yourselves
I hope that you won't push yourselves
in unreasonable circumstances,
always think about your safety first.

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Of course, organisational positions in the Soka Gakkai are not a measure of faith. It is completely inappropriate and inexcusable for leaders to behave high-handedly because of their positions. Leaders have a duty to serve and work for the happiness of the members.
"Also, you shouldn't allow your organisational position to define or limit you as a person. Remain free and true to yourself. Your faith is what matters above all. What's crucial is your awareness as leaders.
"The Soka Gakkai is an organisation that exists to help people—to share the practice of Nichiren Buddhism with those who are suffering and enable them to become happy. Nothing is nobler, therefore, than serving in leadership positions in the Soka Gakkai.
