A translation of "To My Friends" published in the Seikyo Shinbun based on President Ikeda's recent guidance, and more.
-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Achieving our human revolution
and kosen-rufu,
everything begins from our chanting.
With the absolute conviction
everything begins from our chanting.
With the absolute conviction
that "no prayer goes unanswered,"
let's chant strong vibrant daimoku!
Let's advance with great life force
let's chant strong vibrant daimoku!
Let's advance with great life force
based on our faith and practice!

"When a tree has been transplanted, though fierce winds may blow, it will not topple if it has a firm stake to hold it up. But even a tree that has grown up in place may fall over if its roots are weak."
(Three Tripitaka Masters Pray for Rain
- WND, Vol. 1, page 598)

"During the Izu exile, Nichiren Daishonin encouraged one of his disciples: 'Were it not for them [all living beings], one would find it impossible to make the vow to save innumerable living beings. Moreover, but for the evil people who persecute bodhisattvas, how could those bodhisattvas increase their merit?" (WND –1, 43).
"The presence of all kinds of people in the world makes it possible for us to act on our vow to help everyone become happy and attain enlightenment. When we refuse to let others' negativity and opposition deter us, we can accumulate boundless benefit."
