-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The pace set by the Men's Division
decides victory or defeat for the entire organisation!
It is my hope that Men's Division members
become eternally victorious generals on the frontlines,
taking the lead in daily life and kosen-rufu!

"Whatever trouble occurs, regard it as no more than a dream, and think only of the Lotus Sutra."

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
The French philosopher Alain (real name Emile Chartier: 1868-1951) wrote in his work On Happiness: "They say that happiness always eludes us. That is true for happiness that we have handed to us, for there is no such happiness. But the happiness we make for ourselves is not illusory. It is a learning process, and one never stops learning." A youth spent learning sets one on a trajectory to happiness.
