-- TO MY FRIENDS --

In the place 

where people sing songs, 

there is alway progress. 

In both times of joy and hardship, 

let's advance together 

with our SGI songs. 

With our hearts filled with 

great enthusiasm and excitement 

towards achieving kosen-rufu, 

let's all play out "dramas" 

of our human revolution!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---

"It goes without saying, therefore, that persons who study the teachings of Buddhism must also [observe the ideal of filial piety and] understand and repay their obligations. The disciples of the Buddha must without fail understand the four debts of gratitude and know how to repay them."

(The Opening of the Eyes 

- WND, Vol. 1, page 228)
