-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Daishonin encourages us,
"You must not spend your lives
in vain and regret it
for ten thousand years to come."*
Let's make the very most of each day!
For the sake of fulfilling the great vow

For the sake of fulfilling the great vow
to achieve kosen-rufu,
let's press forwards with all our might

without leaving any regrets behind!

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Our Soka castle of capable people is bound together by the ties of mutual respect, perfectly reflecting the Daishonin's words 'You should respect one another [as Buddhas do]' (WND–1, 757). It is also defined by unparalleled unity in diversity based on the 'Great wisdom of equality' (LSOC 11, 209-10). It is a realm where individuals freely reveal their unique capacities in accord with the principle of 'cherry, plum, peach and damson blossoms' (cf.OTT, 200) while striving together in common purpose 'with the spirit of many in body but one in mind, transcending all differences among themselves to become as inseparable as fish and the water in which they swim' (WND–1, 217).
"That's what makes our movement a model of spiritual solidarity that the world, today filled with growing division and isolation, is earnestly seeking."
2nd Soka Gakkai Headquarters Leaders' Meeting, Embodying Unity in Diversity based on the "Great Wisdom of Equality," March 1st, 2021 Seikyo Newspaper, translation released May 2021
