-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The mission of a leader
is to take exemplary action!
Jumping right into the heart
of activities for kosen-rufu,
let's create
a whirlpool of development!
Let's always try to guide
with conviction and passion!

"There is no true happiness other than upholding faith in the Lotus Sutra. This is what is meant by 'peace and security in their present existence and good circumstances in future existences.' Though worldly troubles may arise, never let them disturb you."
(Happiness in This World
- WND, Vol. 1, page 681)

"The purpose of faith in Nichiren Buddhism is to firmly establish the state of Buddhahood in our lives, a state of indestructible happiness continuing across the three existences of past, present, and future. That is the reason we devote ourselves to our Buddhist practice in this lifetime. We will attain this wonderful state of life through our unflagging efforts in this life.
"From the perspective of eternity, 30 or 50 years are just a fleeting moment. We create the causes for attaining the life condition of Buddhahood through our own efforts. And, as proof that we have indeed done so, we will come to enjoy lives of unsurpassed happiness. This is the purpose of our Buddhist practice."
SGI Newsletter 1420, quoting from 32nd Soka Gakkai Headquarters Leaders' Meeting vidoe of 73rd Soka Gakkai Heaquarters Leaders' Meeting 1993, translation released May, 2018
