-- TO MY FRIENDS --
I hope that all of our leaders are always brimming with a
youthful spirit and cheerfully guiding everyone to advance
with enthusiasm.
Please make every effort to be sincere and earnest in your efforts as
leaders
so that everyone's heart are filled with joy and
that everyone truly feels,
"I'm really happy that I'm practising this faith!"

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"I am praying that, no matter how troubled the times may
become, the Lotus Sutra and the ten demon daughters will
protect all of you, praying as earnestly as though to
produce fire from damp wood, or to obtain water from
parched ground."

(On Rebuking Slander of the Law and Eradicating Sins - The
Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 444) Selection
source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, December 25th,
2008

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"José Martí (1853-95), a champion of Cuban independence, declared: 'The
world will not come to us, which is why we must go to the world.' How
invigorating and inspiring is a life full of courage dedicated to opening
the door to a new world and building bridges that connect people!"
