-- TO MY FRIENDS --
I'm going to visit that person!
I'm going to talk with this friend!
To the extent we decide as such
and take action,
our life condition elevates.
Now, with light cheerful optimism,
let's go meet those friends of ours!

"Global society, facing numerous crises today, is in greater need of the strategy of the Lotus Sutra than ever before.
"Nichiren Daishonin offers us a series of milestones for showing actual proof when he writes: 'within 100 days… or within one, three or seven years...' (WND –1, 765).
"As we stand at this critical turning point in human history, let us be confident that nothing surpasses the strategy of the Lotus Sutra that we have honed through our Soka Gakkai activities. Let us boldly demonstrate for all to see 'within 100 days… or within one, three or seven years' even more brilliant proof of the victory of Buddhism in the place where we have vowed to fulfil our mission—the place that has been entrusted to us by the Daishonin."
40th Soka Gakkai Headquarters Leaders Meeting, Message January 12th 2019, Showing Proof of the Victory of Buddhism, Seikyo Shinbun January 13th, 2019, Translation released February 2019.
