To My Friends (Feb. 7)

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

TO MY FRIENDS—
The development of good relations with others relies on
the words and actions that come from our hearts.
By showing our utmost sincerity and integrity,
let's become people who can successfully establish friendly relations with others
and represent what the SGI movement is all about.

—DAILY GOSHO—
"The people of today all turn their backs upon what is right; to a person, they give their allegiance to evil. This is the reason that the benevolent deities have abandoned the nation and departed together, that sages leave and do not return. And in their stead devils and demons come, and disasters and calamities occur. I cannot keep silent on this matter. I cannot suppress my fears."
