--WORDS OF THE WEEK--
Billowing waves increase in force
  the more obstacles they encounter.
Let's challenge ourselves unremittingly
  with dauntless prayer so
  we can hold aloft the flag of victory!

--TO MY FRIENDS--
To our beloved members of Kansai
  who uphold their vow for kosen-rufu--
  soar into the fresh, ever-victorious skies
  with unstoppable momentum!
May you sound the clarion call of 
  triumphant victory!

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