To My Friends (Feb. 21)

A translation of SGI President Ikeda's "To My Friends" published in the Seikyo Shimbun.

—TO MY FRIENDS—
Enthusiastically and in cheerful spirits,
let's live out our lives to the fullest.
It is on the noble path of achieving kosen-rufu and justice,
that we can perform the great drama of our
own human revolution.

—DAILY GOSHO—
"When someone reported to me, however, that you had been taken with this illness, day and night, morning and evening I addressed the Lotus Sutra on the matter, morning and evening I implored the gods of the blue heavens. And now today I have received word that you have recovered from illness. Could any tidings be more joyful than these?"
(Recovering from Illness—The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.2, page 1034)
