-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Daishonin teaches us,
"The 'great vow' refers to the
propagation of the Lotus Sutra."*
Let's advance along this great path
of achieving kosen-rufu
enthusiastically and youthfully!
Blazing with the SGI spirit,
together with everyone,
let's proudly play out fresh new dramas
of brilliant achievement!
*The Teacher of the Law chapter - OTT, page 82

"Having to deal with difficulties is painful. But it is important to squarely face the realities and problems that lie before us and tackle them head-on, without running away. All great people, all heroes, have had to endure hardships.
"Suffering is the crucible that forges a spirit as strong as steel. Each painful struggle in life can become a driving force for self-improvement and a source of creativity."
