The mentor-disciple spirit of the first three presidents is the foundation. As long as the Soka Gakkai carries on this spirit, it will continue to develop and thrive forever and succeed in realizing worldwide kosen-rufu. I would like you, my successors in the youth division, to inherit the first three presidents’ fighting spirit for kosen-rufu and win in all your endeavors without fail.
