It’s through taking action that we develop the pride of life. If we take action for the sake of kosen-rufu, a drama unfolds and priceless treasures of the heart are accumulated. Let’s bravely take on the challenges we now face and take bold courageous action!
Translation of "To My Friends" published in the Seikyo Shimbun, based on President Ikeda's recent guidance, with universal value and application
Our goal is the establishment of everlasting world peace. Let’s start from right where we stand and inspire surging waves of change in the lives of individuals, each of which helps people to build the corner stones that support and enables this noble goal. Making a point of meeting people to talk with them for the sake of kosen-rufu. Herein lies the direct path to our human revolution. Let’s tear down the walls that cocoon our hearts! To our fellow members of the great Kansai region whom SGI members around the world look up to with great admiration and take as a model of undefeated victors in the kosen-rufu movement. The firm bond of mentor and disciple is eternal. With the determined vow of “now, again!” let’s be ever-victorious and protect the invincible golden citadel! If we chant daimoku with unyielding determination and resolve and decisively take the necessary actions, everything becomes a supportive force for us. This is the fundamental principle of the great teachings of this Buddhism. Let’s courageously exert ourselves, each and every day, in our efforts to expand our solidarity network of good! Today will never come again. What is my challenge for the day? What is my mission for the day? By chanting daimoku with a determined vow, let's start a fresh new day each and every morning! To our dear friends from Okinawa who so earnestly are striving for the development and construction of their happy islands! Strive passionately with an indomitable spirit! And with the strong unity of many in body, one in mind, let us dance a joyful dance of harmony! Kosen-rufu is achieved by unceasing efforts in debate and discussion for the sake of justice. What we need is undaunted courage and the type of conviction that rocks people's hearts. Without sparing our voices, let's cheerfully and confidently talk to others about what our movement is all about! Thank you to all of our Men's and Women's chapter leaders, for your hard work day in and day out and your noble selfless dedication and devotion! You are indeed the pillars of kosen-rufu in the local community. By strengthening our bond with each person, let’s create a history of dynamic advancement together! “I’ll get round to it sometime.” Such a weak attitude causes nothing but regression. It’s by taking action “right this very moment“ that opens up a path to development. Let's adorn our lives each and every day by putting forth our very best, minus any regrets! |
