* Apologies for the typo in yesterday's "Daily Encouragement" -  "Piece of the land" should have of course read "Peace of the land." 

A translation of "To My Friends" published in the Seikyo Shinbun based on President Ikeda's recent guidance, and more.

-- TO MY FRIENDS --
To our dear friends of Hokkaido
where mentor and disciple strive together,
create a fresh new current of kosen-rufu!
With the unbeatable fighting spirit 
of "three-fold efforts,"
let's together engage in conversation 
both joyfully and courageously,
and write an immortal history 
as forerunners of development!

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"My mentor, second Soka Gakkai president Josei Toda, often used to say: 'Good must prevail. If good is defeated, it will be obliterated. The Soka Gakkai is an organisation of the highest good. We must therefore win without fail. I'd like you to be victorious. I'd like you to lead lives of eternal victory and triumph." These solemn words are right on the mark."

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