-- TO MY FRIENDS --
It's not about someone else.
It's about "my victories"
that make the SGI victorious!
With the enthusiasm that we ourselves
are the protagonists of the achievement of kosen-rufu,
let's write a history that we can be proud of!

"People with an invincible spirit are never pessimistic, even when things don't go as they hoped.
"Mr. Toda once said to some young women's division members: 'You should be proud that you possess within you the same life state as Nichiren Daishonin. Maintain a noble spirit and triumph in life. Never belittle yourselves.'
"Nichiren Buddhism enables us to confidently overcome life's problems without becoming discouraged, feeling sorry for ourselves or thinking 'I'm no good!' or 'I can't do it!' The power of the Mystic Law enables us to decisively vanquish the fundamental darkness or ignorance that tries to diminish our supremely noble lives."
The Buddhism of the Sun — Illuminating the World, (34) To My Dear Friends of the Youth Division — Part 2. (of 5), Invincible Spirit—We Possess the Same Life State as the Daishonin, February 2018 Daibyaku-renge, translation released October 2018.
