To My Friends - December 1, 2012

[Matthew Anton]

[A note to all the district and chapter leaders in Manhattan Central: I am working to update the "To My Friends" email list to reflect our new organizational structure and include all the newly-appointed leaders. This should be completed this weekend or early next week. I believe that each person will first receive an email from Google Groups requesting that they "accept" before they can receive the emails...so be sure to accept! Thank you for your patience .]

--TO MY FRIENDS--
To our fellow members of Tokaido who
  brim with the spirit of justice--
  create a land of peace and happiness
  with the great life force of the rising sun.
Now is the time to consolidate the foundation.

Translation of "To My Friends" published in the Seikyo Shimbun, based on President Ikeda's recent guidance, with universal value and application.

--わが友に贈る--
正義の魂燃ゆる
　東海道の同志よ！
　旭日の大生命力で
　平和の楽土を築け！
　総仕上げの時は今！

--WAGA TOMO NI OKURU--
