-- TO MY FRIENDS --
When we take action
for the sake of others,
greater energy is brought forth
from within rather than
doing things just for our own sake's.
This is the way of life of Soka.
Together, let's live out our lives
with strong conviction and faith!

"Though numerous, the Japanese will find it difficult to accomplish anything, because they are divided in spirit. In contrast, although Nichiren and his followers are few, because they are different in body, but united in mind, they will definitely accomplish their great mission of widely propagating the Lotus Sutra. Though evils may be numerous, they cannot prevail over a single great truth."
(Many in Body, One in Mind
- WND, Vol. 1, page 618)
