 戦の際、軍には大将軍を魂として、将軍の采配次第で勝負が決まる。その大将軍が臆病になってしまえば、その部下の兵達も同じように、ことごとく臆病になってしまう。

 広宣流布の戦いにおいては、リーダーが生命力豊かに、自ら率先して戦いに挑み、また個人も自らがリーダーの気概を以って、心を合わせて戦っていかなければならない。

English Gosho

 In battles soldiers regard the general as their soul. If the general were to lose heart, his soldiers would become cowards. 

[ In a Battle of KOSEN-RUFU, a leader is full of vitality, and it is important that oneself challenges a fight proactively. and, Each person needs Spirits of " I'm a leader,too " , and must fight against all the members with a single purpose together. ]
