-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's warmly encourage 
our friends
who cannot make it to meetings.
Chanting profound daimoku and
taking sincere genuine actions
to never leave anyone behind 
are what tie our 
hearts together strongly 
with one another.

for a Youthful Soka Gakkai Worldwide" 
in Japanese it reads as 
"Sekai Seinen Gakkai 
     Kaimaku no Toshi"
