-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's always warmly reach out
to those members who cannot
make it to activities.
One small word of encouragement
is the beginning to a leap forward
in hope and advancement.
Everyone of us in the SGI
is the key player!

"We can repay the debt of gratitude we owe our mentor by working for the happiness of others. A commentary on the Daishonin's writing 'On Repaying Debts of Gratitude' states that disciples repay their debts of gratitude 'by transmitting the law and benefiting others.'* Dedicating our lives to kosen-rufu through the compassionate propagation of the Mystic Law is the ultimate form of repaying our debts of gratitude."
