-- TO MY FRIENDS --
There is a difference between
what is meant by "successor"
and that of "follower."
A genuine successor of Soka is not someone
who merely follows existing paths
but instead is someone who opens up
new ways across untracked land.
If we are indeed youthful,
let's be trailblazers of our lofty movement
for kosen-rufu!
