-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Our sworn friends of the men's division,
are all invincible fearless lions.
With the pride of being our golden pillars
of the organisation,
let's strive to triumph over all the challenges
that we face,
and courageously play out a drama of
victory through faith!

"Because each of you has such a profound mission, you are bound to face various difficulties and problems. But the bigger those problems, the stronger you will become, and the more you will be able to understand the sufferings of others and become a supportive person yourself. It's important that you study and learn now to train yourselves and strengthen your minds and spirits.
"Nichiren Daishonin writes: "From the time I was young I have had my heart set on learning" (WND-2, 1050). He made a vow to become the wisest person in Japan, and studied diligently so that he could help others. Learning is the driving force for carrying out that noble mission."
