-- TO MY FRIENDS --
To all of my dear young friends 
who have just graduated,*
all of your experiences 
cultivated in the midst of difficulties
will become the wings 
that will fly you into the future.
Courageously and with confidence,
soar into the vast sky of glorious victories!

* Several countries, particularly in Asia and of course Japan finish their school years in March.

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"In December 1955 prior to the Osaka Campaign,* I was engaged in an intense, all-out struggle. At that time my mentor, second Soka Gakkai president Josei Toda, told me reassuringly: 'Dai, suffering is unavoidable in life. Only when you suffer can you understand faith and become a person of substance.'"

From Constructing The New Era, Advancing Together on Our Shared journey of Mentor and Disciple, 15th December 2020 issue of Seikyo Newspaper, translation released February, 2021

* Osaka Campaign: in May 1956, the Kansai members, uniting around a young Daisaku Ikeda, who had been dispatched by second Soka Gakkai President Josei Toda to support them, introduced 11,111 households to the practice of Nichiren Buddhism in a single month.
