The curtain on a grand new stage of human revolution has risen. I am waiting for true-hearted disciples who blaze with the same invincible fighting spirit for\u00a0<\/span>kosen-rufu<\/span> that I do. I have faith in their efforts and their successes.<\/span><\/h4>\n

The\u00a0<\/span>Soka<\/span>\u00a0Gakkai has endured one hardship after another to open the way for\u00a0<\/span>kosen-rufu<\/span>. Looking back on the efforts of the\u00a0<\/span>Soka<\/span>\u00a0mentors and disciples in the pioneering days of our movement, we cannot allow ourselves to relax in our efforts. The\u00a0<\/span>Daishonin<\/span>\u00a0instructs: \u201cStrengthen your faith day by day and month after month. Should you slacken in your resolve even a bit, devils will take advantage\u201d (WND-1, 997). Let us constantly bear these words in mind.<\/span>\u200b<\/p>\n

Wherever and whenever disciples with the same spirit for\u00a0<\/span>kosen-rufu<\/span>\u00a0as their mentor rise into action, the bright flame of\u00a0<\/span>Soka<\/span>\u00a0soars high.<\/span>\u200b<\/p>\n

We must not put off; the time is now. The\u00a0<\/span>Daishonin<\/span>\u00a0urges us: \u201cStrengthen your resolve more than ever\u201d (WND-1, 615), and \u201cSummon up the great power of faith more than ever\u201d (WND-1, 1000).<\/span>\u200b<\/p>\n

The curtain on a grand new stage of human revolution has risen. I am waiting for true-hearted disciples who blaze with the same invincible fighting spirit for\u00a0<\/span>kosen-rufu<\/span>\u00a0that I do. I have faith in their efforts and their successes.\u00a0<\/span>\u200b<\/p>\n
