-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's view the video of the 
headquarters leaders' meeting
commemorating the 55th anniversary 
of the formation of our men's division
and together take fresh strides 
in new challenges!
Let's become unshakable golden pillars 
of kosen-rufu
who give a sense of assurance 
to everyone!


*March 5th this year marks the 55th anniversary of the establishment of the men's division (MD), whose members are regarded as the golden pillars of kosen-rufu. (Ref. NHR Vol. 10)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"On his release from prison in July 1945, my mentor, Josef Toda, stood amid the chard ruins of wartime Japan. His mentor, Tsunesaburo Makiguchi, had died in prison. He himself was in frail health, and he was burdened with huge business debts. The entire nation was sunk in despair, without a glimmer of hope anywhere to be seen. In that dark age, he resolved all alone that the time for kosen-rufu had come and set about rebuilding the Soka Gakkai. 

"He said: 'Nam-myoho-renge-kyo is the fundamental law that is eternal and everlasting. It is the ultimate power of the universe and the unsurpassed way. Those who embrace it, believe in it and act in accord with it will never become unhappy. They are guaranteed to attain a life state of complete and perfect happiness.'

"... As long as there is hope, there is always a way forwards. A succession of hardships can be transformed into opportunities for great positive development. Faith in the Mystic Law is an inexhaustible wellspring of hope."

Our Brilliant Human Revolution, Advancing with Courage and Hope towards a New Dawn, from the 25th December, 2020, issue of the Seikyo Newspaper, translation released February 2021.
