-- TO MY FRIENDS --
To perform a drama
against all odds,
to reverse things for the better
is how our Men's Division members
show themselves at their very best.
By making up our minds,
"I am the protagonist of my own life,"
let's boldly challenge ourselves
with steadfast faith!
Let's begin, right from this moment,
an inspiring drama of victory!

"For example, the journey from Kamakura to Kyoto takes twelve days. If you travel for eleven but stop with only one day remaining, how can you admire the moon over the capital?"

"Defeating devilish functions and winning countless allies for our movement—this is truly a colossal achievement. It is shakubuku. We must refute error and thoroughly defeat it.
"We battle devilish functions in order to become happy and attain Buddhahood. This struggle is the most powerful driving force and shortest route to realising a state of life shining with eternal benefit. Mr. Toda called out to us: 'Fight fearlessly against devilish functions! Nip their evil in the bud! Never compromise with them!'"
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.
