-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Daishonin asserts,
"Not once have I thought of retreat.."*
This is the SGI spirit.
By defeating any weakness
we might have to give up,
let's resolve to talk with
one more person,
one more time
to help them know and understand
this Buddhism and its philosophy!
*Gosho: "The Great Battle,"
WND-II, page 465

"Now, no matter what, strive in faith and be known as a votary of the Lotus Sutra, and remain my disciple for the rest of your life. If you are of the same mind as Nichiren, you must be a Bodhisattva of the Earth. And if you are a Bodhisattva of the Earth, there is not the slightest doubt that you have been a disciple of Shakyamuni Buddha from the remote past."
(The True Aspect of All Phenomena
- WND, Vol. 1, page 385)
