A translation of "To My Friends" published in the Seikyo Shinbun based on President Ikeda's recent guidance, and more.
-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The construction of peace is a battle between
the mind to proceed with absolute conviction
and the mind to simply just give up.
The time for that transformation
in people's mindset
(towards one of building peace)
is right now,
let's put forth our very best effort
and engage in grassroots dialogue
with as many people
as we possible can!

"What can we say, then, of persons who are devoting themselves to Buddhism? Surely they should not forget the debts of gratitude they owe to their parents, their teachers, and their country. But if one intends to repay these great debts of gratitude, one can hope to do so only if one learns and masters Buddhism, becoming a person of wisdom."
