-- TO MY FRIENDS --
It's "unity" that gives us invincible strength!
Let's really put our best into encouraging our fellow members
who are earnestly making an all out effort every day!
By having a heart of appreciation for what people do
and at the same time being respectful,
we're able to gain the momentum we need
we're able to gain the momentum we need
for advancing the kosen-rufu movement!

"In the case of the Lotus Sutra, however, all the sutras preached in the first forty and more years are included within this one sutra. The Buddhas of the worlds in the ten directions, who are all endowed with the three bodies, are one and all gathered there, for, as it is explained, all are emanations of the one Buddha, Shakyamuni. Therefore, this one Buddha is none other than all Buddhas, and all Buddhas are thus brought together within the two characters of myoho. For this reason, the benefits to be gained by reciting the five characters of Myoho-renge-kyo are great indeed."

"I hope that all of you will remain in this wonderful organisation of the Soka Gakkai, and confidently continue to forge ahead on the great path of human revolution.
"Through our selfless efforts to spread the Mystic Law, we of the Soka Gakkai have resolutely protected the correct teaching of Nichiren Buddhism. We have advanced worldwide kosen-rufu, just as the Daishonin instructed.
"The correct practice of Nichiren Buddhism is found only in the Soka Gakkai."
