-- TO MY FRIENDS --
"The popular proverb says that
'one is the mother of ten thousand.'"*
One person burning with resolve
One person burning with resolve
creates dynamic waves
for achieving kosen-rufu.
Beginning with watching the
headquarters leaders' meeting video,
let's challenge ourselves,
let's challenge ourselves,
to win in our own February Campaign
confidently and with pride!

"The renowned violinist Yehudi Menuhin (1916-1999) was deeply interested in Nichiren Buddhism and the sound and rhythm of daimoku. I remember him saying to me that he found it truly inspiring how Buddhism saw the divinity, or Buddhahood, within ordinary people, highlighting its astounding belief in human beings.* Our pride as Soka Gakkai members striving to realise the Daishonin's ideal of "establishing the correct teaching for the peace of the land" is that we believe wholeheartedly in the potential of all people. An inner transformation in the life of a single individual can bring about change leading to a better society. What is important is our conviction that we can transform our lives."
