--TO MY FRIENDS--
To all of you who are challenging yourselves
in the Young Men's Division training groups.
Your efforts to introduce others
Your efforts to introduce others
to Nichiren Buddhism
is the most noble practice of all.
The Daishonin asserts,
"Those who hear even a single sentence
The Daishonin asserts,
"Those who hear even a single sentence
or phrase of the Lotus Sutra
will attain Buddhahood without fail."
For the sake of our friend's happiness,
let's wholeheartedly engage in conversation
will attain Buddhahood without fail."
For the sake of our friend's happiness,
let's wholeheartedly engage in conversation

"' One.... who chants the Daimoku Nam-myoho-renge-kyo is the Thus Come One's emissary. Also, one who perseveres through great persecutions and embraces the [Lotus Sutra] from beginning to end [throughout one's life] is the Thus Come One's emissary.'

-From 'The Further the Source, the Longer the Stream' (WND – 1, 942).
"Persevering to the very end is the essence of faith. Those who continue to chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo and speak out for truth and justice, even amid the most challenging obstacles, embody the life state of that Buddha.
"Kosen rufu means striving to achieve concrete goals in society. It was the wish of my mentor, second Soka Gakkai president Josei Toda, that each of us creates a wonderful record of human revolution and is able to say, 'I've done the best I possibly can!'
"Let us warmly encourage one another as we continue to forge ahead on the path of our mission to realise a peaceful society based on the humanistic principles of Nichiren Buddhism. The jubilant cheers of the people will surely await us!"
Advancing with the Gosho, [66] Persevering to the Very End from the April 19th edition of the Seikyo Newspaper, translation released June 2019.
