-- TO MY FRIENDS --
All the challenges that we now face
enable us to empathise with
our friends who are struggling
with similar difficulties,
and at the same time
to encourage them!
Karma is another name for mission.
Chanting daimoku with conviction,
let's advance!

"'Although Nichiren and his followers are few, because they are different in body, but united in mind [i.e., many in body, one in mind], they will definitely accomplish their great mission of widely propagating the Lotus Sutra. Though evils may be numerous, they cannot prevail over a single great truth [or good].'
— From 'Many in Body, One in Mind' (WND-1, 618).
"The unity of 'many in body, one in mind' is the most crucial key for realising kosen-rufu.
"We are building an unsurpassed network of human harmony that people all over the world have long dreamed of. No evil can obstruct the advance of our Soka movement devoted to the highest good.
"It is not a matter of numbers; let us press forwards with unbreakable unity, joining together as one in spirit and purpose based on prayers infused with the shared value of mentor and disciple. Overcoming every obstacle, let us make a triumphant song of the people dedicated to truth and justice resound!"
Advancing with the Gosho (2), [61] 'Many in Body, One in Mind' Is Key for Realising Kosen-rufu, from the Seikyo Newspaper, March 27th 2019, translation released May 2019.
