-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Whenever we encounter deadlock,
let's go back to the starting point!
As long as the purpose
of what we are doing is clear enough,
we'll never be defeated.
Together, let's live out our lives
by fulfilling the vow that we made
for kosen-rufu!

"Because Buddhism has gradually been turned upside down, the secular world also has been plunged into corruption and chaos. Buddhism is like the body, and society like the shadow. When the body bends, so does the shadow."
(A Comparison of the Lotus and Other Sutras
- WND, Vol. 1, page 1039)

"The Buddhism of Nichiren Daishonin is the Buddhism of the sun; it is a world religion illuminating all humanity. Viewed from every aspect, the Soka Gakkai's development, as an organisation whose members uphold this great philosophy, should also be global and universal. It mustn't be held back within a narrow, closed, feudalistic framework."
From the SGI Newsletter 5380, from the 33rd Soka Gakkai Headquarters Leaders' meeting, Let Us expand Our Network of friendship and Trust, The Soka Gakkai Is a Humanistic Movement, Seikyo Shinbun April 26th, 2018, translation released June, 2018
