-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Daishonin states,
"... it (a tree) will not topple if it has
a firm stake to hold it up."*

instead of holding it to ourselves,
let's consult someone
we trust!
Together, let's win in life!
*"When a tree has been transplanted, though fierce winds may blow, it will not topple if it has a firm stake to hold it up. But even a tree that has grown up in place may fall over if its roots are weak. Even a feeble person will not stumble if those supporting him are strong, but a person of considerable strength, when alone, may fall down on an uneven path."

"First Soka Gakkai, President Tsunesaburo Makiguchi held that mountains are places that foster character and produce capable people. Now is the time for the eternal Mountain of Mentor and Disciple that is the Soka Gakkai to put even greater energy into fostering our youth division and future division members to become 'bluer than the Indigo.' Let's produce a surging stream of champions of humanity, champions of philosophy and champions of the people who will rise up and shoulder the hopes of the global family!"
