-- TO MY FRIENDS --

Let's do our utmost to seek out

those people who are making

earnest dedicated efforts behind the scenes,

and really praise them for what they're doing!

This is what the Soka spirit is about.

Let's present each and every

champion of challenge

with a blazing laurel wreath

that shines with glory!

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----

"...The core of such efforts must be to bring forth the full potential of dialogue. So long as human history continues, we will face the perennial challenge of realising, maintaining and strengthening peace through dialogue, of making dialogue the sure and certain path to peace. We must uphold and proclaim this conviction without cease, whatever coldly knowing smiles or cynical critiques may greet us."
