This is from the WT e-mail express:
In the conclusion of his speech at the 10th Soka Gakkai Headquarters Leaders Meeting, held at the Tokyo Makiguchi Memorial Hall in Hachioji, Oct. 11, SGI President Ikeda says: "Let us work and talk together in this lifetime, Nichiren Daishonin says, and after death, too, let us talk
together on Eagle Peak.
"Throughout eternity, we will converse with one another, encourage one another and advance together toward happiness. This is the way of fellow members who share in the struggle for kosen-rufu. We must not allow the ill-intentioned who seek to exploit our organization, or the malicious who wish to torment the Buddha's children, or the treacherous who have no sense of gratitude or appreciation, to enter this beautiful world of the SGI.
"The SGI's advance is defined by our unity as members who are striving earnestly to introduce others to the Daishonin's Buddhism, to promote the activities of our organization, which has inherited the Buddha's intent
and decree, and to realize a world without war.
"The teachings of Buddhism enable us to view things based on the three existences of life -- past, present and future -- and to advance cheerfully along the valuable, noble path of peace, happiness and triumph.
"Let us not complain about petty things. We cannot let ourselves be discouraged by a little hardship. And we must never abandon our faith. To do so would be an act of cowardice and betrayal.
"Let us lead lives of eternal victory, indestructible lives of unshakable conviction. This is the most meaningful life a human being can live. There is no greater teaching than Buddhism. A life that embodies the teachings of Buddhism is a life of ultimate value."
