-- TO MY FRIENDS –
Let's make sure that the roles and responsibilities of all
who are in assistant/vice positions are absolutely clear.
By having great unity between both the person taking the lead and their
assistant leader(s),
let's work together to develop fresh new ways of advancement.
And by doing so let's double our momentum towards the achievement of
kosen-rufu!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Those who believe in the Lotus Sutra are as if in winter, but winter always
turns to spring."

(Winter Always Turns to Spring - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol. 1,
page 536) Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, July 2nd, 2008

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"I'd like to share with you some more words of Mr. Toda. During the war,
many top Gakkai leaders quaked at the thought of persecution by the
militarist authorities. For all their brave speeches, they were utterly
terrified. Mr. Toda described this clearly in his novel The Human Revolution
(under the pen name Myo Goku): 'They make bold pronouncements, but at a
crucial moment, what happens?...I've seen it all too well. When the
authorities appear, they shrivel up like slugs that have been sprinkled with
salt.' Please strive your hardest, so that no one can ever say that of you.
I'm counting on you.

"One's actions at a crucial moment are what matter. That's when a person's
true worth is revealed. Don't be fainthearted. The stronger the opposition,
the more powerfully, boldly, cheerfully we should speak out. This is the
Gakkai spirit, it is the spirit that lives in the hearts of Soka mentors and
disciples."
