--TO MY FRIENDS--
To all of our dear friends in Hokkaido,
the
"Citadel of the Three Founding Presidents,"*
where triumphant histories
achieved by the people shine brightly..
With our courageous faith and vigorous practice,
let our voices, full of hope, ring out loud
in every corner of our beloved land
where we proudly fulfil our missions!
*In the Soka Gakkai, Hokkaido, in the north of Japan, is known as the "Citadel of the Three Founding Presidents." Mr. Makiguchi spent most of his youth in Hokkaido, while Mr. Toda spent most of his early years there before moving to Tokyo. Succeeding the spirit of his mentor, President Ikeda built a vibrant kosen-rufu movement in Hokkaido through his own efforts.

"And yet, though one might point at the earth and miss it, though one might bind up the sky, though the tides might cease to ebb and flow and the sun rise in the west, it could never come about that the prayers of the practitioner of the Lotus Sutra would go unanswered."

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Just as no life is free from problems, no community is without its unique issues and challenges. But with the firm conviction that the places where we live are 'excellent, excellent lands' (WND-1, 945), we must bring forth our creativity and ingenuity to make them so, as the Daishonin states."Our continued efforts in that invigorating challenge will lead to the positive transformation of our communities into ideal realms."
