-- TO MY FRIENDS --
When society is constantly confronted
by changes,
it's vital that we respect women's opinions
it's vital that we respect women's opinions
and make the most of young people's
fresh new ideas!
This is how the SGI has always acted
and will forever do so
and how it will successfully
develop for eternity.

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Leaders of kosen-rufu are great generals of the forces of the Buddha, the leaders of the people's citadel of truth and justice. As such leaders, therefore, it's important not to get caught up in short-term strategies or tactics. Our approach is to summon forth courage and wisdom through strong prayer, and advance confidently based on the Daishonin's writings. With the leadership philosophy of the Lotus Sutra as our unerring compass, we seek to lead our precious fellow members in our shared struggle with the best possible strategy and action based on the Mystic Law."
