-- TO MY FRIENDS --
To all of our dear friends in the Chugoku area 
who have such a challenging pioneer spirit!
The walls of obstacles that seem to block our way
can all be broken down
through our dauntless daimoku 
and by putting that indomitable faith into action.
Let's together create a victorious history 
filled with great joy!

"Put into flames, a rock simply turns to ashes, but gold becomes pure gold."

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Mr. Toda declared: 'The great endeavour of kosen-rufu is a struggle against devilish functions. We cannot afford to cower at their onslaughts. If we allow them to defeat us, humanity will be forever enveloped in darkness.' Kosen-rufu is a struggle against devilish functions. That's why we must triumph over them. Doing so leads to the creation of a beautiful realm of peace and happiness. 

"There is no such thing as a struggle for kosen-rufu that is free of attack by devilish functions. The Daishonin expressly states: 'This world is the domain of the devil king of the sixth heaven' (WND-1,495). What is the sharp sword, the decisive means, that enables us to defeat these devilish functions? It is the power of daimoku."

41st Soka Gakkai Headquarters Leaders' Meeting, from excerpts of the 49th SG Headquarters Leaders' meeting May 2005, Action Is the True Proof of faith, May 14th 2019 Seikyo Newspaper, translation released June 2019.
