-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Victory in our districts
leads to
victory for the SGI.
With our
men's and women's district leaders
as our axis,
may each and every one of us
be a protagonist of kosen-rufu!
Firmly united with the spirit of
many in body, one in mind,
let's make great advancement
brimming with joy and happiness!

"The Daishonin States that 'there should be no discrimination… be they men or women' (WND–1, 385). This declaration of gender equality in 13th century Japan shines as a beacon in the annals of human history. In other words, every single person who embraces the Gohonzon and chants Nam-myoho-renge-kyo regardless of gender identity or expression, can absolutely become happy.
"That's why it is important not only to chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo ourselves, but to also teach others to do the same. That is what is meant by practice for oneself and others. Chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo is a practice open to all people, no matter who they are, what their background is, or where they're from."
