-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Daishonin encourages us,
"You must simply
make up your mind."*
Winning or losing in a struggle
is determined by our momentum.
With pride in our hearts
as Bodhisattvas of the Earth,
let's boldly and courageously
battle on towards victory!
* "Reply to Yasaburo,"
WND-l page 826

"Mr. Toda declared: 'The Soka Gakkai is the king of the religious world!' This is because our organisation is dedicated to working for the happiness of all people based on Nichiren Buddhism, an unsurpassed philosophy of respect for the dignity of life.
"What defines true human greatness or nobility? It ultimately comes down to the convictions a person holds and the actions they take.
"The Daishonin writes: '[the Lotus Sutra] is superior to all other sutras. It is like the lion king, the monarch of all the creatures that run on the ground, and like the eagle, the king of all the creatures that fly in the sky' (WND-1, 929-30)."
