Brought to you from the good ole U.S. Of A and the U.K....
A translation of "To My Friends" published in the Seikyo Shinbun based on President Ikeda's recent guidance, and more.
-- TO MY FRIENDS --
To those of you who are studying
for school entrance exams
or challenging yourselves in various other ways
in what is your "crucial summer,"
hang in there,
keep on trying no matter what!
Whenever we hit a wall
or some great obstacle,
remember that that wall or obstacle
always gives us the chance
to grow tremendously.
With a strong determined spirit,
let's together advance along a youthful path,
constantly forging and training ourselves!
"(A letter cannot convey all that one would like to say, and) words cannot fully express what is in the heart. The rest will have to wait until the next time we meet."
