-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Daishonin asserts,
"What we should ultimately aspire to
is the Buddha land."*
To our Men's Division members,
To our Men's Division members,
the pillars of the SGI,
the time for you to shine like gold
is now!
With the vow
as Bodhisattvas of the Earth
in our hearts,
let's bravely charge forth!
let's bravely charge forth!

"The first shi of the word shishi, or 'lion' [which means 'teacher'], is the Wonderful Law that is passed on by the teacher. The second shi [which means 'child'] is the Wonderful Law as it is received by the disciples. The 'roar' is the sound of the teacher and the disciples chanting in unison."

"'What is the correct way to live?' I asked my future mentor, Josei Toda, at the discussion meeting where I met him for the first time on August 14th, 1947, when I was 19 years old.
"His answer was clear and straightforward. He told me to try practising Nichiren Buddhism. If I did, he said, I would naturally find myself following the correct path through life.
"Just as birds follow the path of birds in the sky and fish follow the path of fish in the sea, we also follow a path that leads to genuine happiness in life. This is the path of Nichiren Buddhism, the path of kosen-rufu and establishing the correct teaching for the peace of the land – in other words, the path of creating world peace."
