-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Goals set by ourselves
are goals that are achievable,
no matter what!
With this burning resolve
With this burning resolve
and commitment
together with chanting daimoku
and taking action,
we develop within us,
we develop within us,
a diamond-like
indestructible "self."

"But a person's heart may change with the times, and the nature of a thing may alter with its surroundings. Just as the moon on the water will be tossed about by the waves, or the soldiers in the vanguard will be cowed b y the swords of the enemy, so, although at this moment you may say you believe in my words, I fear that later you will forget them completely."

"How we advance kosen-rufu depends on the area. For instance, the lives and relationships of people in densely populated urban centres differ from those in remote mountain villages or islands. We have to account for such differences as we consider how to promote understanding of Nichiren Buddhism and carry out Soka Gakkai activities.
"Nichiren Daishonin writes: 'I entrust you with the propagation of Buddhism in your province' (WND–1, 1117). Spreading Nichiren Buddhism in each area is the responsibility of Soka Gakkai members living there."
