-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Daishonin states,
"The reason that you have survived
until now
(when so many have died)
was so that you would meet
(when so many have died)
was so that you would meet
with this affair."*
Firmly making up our minds
Firmly making up our minds
that this is the decisive moment
for victory in kosen-rufu,
let's give our all to tackling
the challenges in front of us.
From there on a path
to new opportunities
is certain to open up!
*"You must simply make up your mind. Look at the world this year as a mirror. The reason that you have survived until now when so many have died was so that you would meet with this affair. This is where you will cross the Uji River. This is where you will ford the Seta. This will determine whether you win honour or disgrace your name."

"Although I and my disciples may encounter various difficulties, if we do not harbour doubts in our hearts, we will as a matter of course attain Buddhahood. Do not have doubts simply because heaven does not lend you protection. Do not be discouraged because you do not enjoy an easy and secure existence in this life."

"Mr. Toda always forged ahead with the determination to make the most of each day, each month, each year. When things didn't go as he'd hoped, he picked himself up with an undefeated spirit and tried again.

"Mr. Toda always forged ahead with the determination to make the most of each day, each month, each year. When things didn't go as he'd hoped, he picked himself up with an undefeated spirit and tried again.
"I am the disciple of Mr. Toda. I have travelled around Japan and the world year after year to encourage my fellow members and work for peace. I tirelessly continued writing page after page of my two novels 'The Human Revolution' and 'The New Human Revolution,' as well as essays and other writings. Even when I was ill, I pushed myself to keep writing even just a few lines or paragraphs, counting each completed page as a little victory.
"One step forwards! Then another step! That is the Soka Gakkai spirit and how to lead a life of value creation."
