-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's make sure to hold the type of meetings where
every person who attends finds them both meaningful and beneficial and
feels: "I'm really glad I came!"
By chanting daimoku with all our heart and having a really effective and well thought out plan,
let's adorn each meeting we hold,
the noble gathering of Buddhas,
with great success!

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Gazing towards the sun of hope,
let's live with the fresh
and vibrant life-force
of time without beginning
again today.
"The renowned German author and poet Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832) was a master in the art of living a life of youthful vigour to the very end. In one of his poems, he wrote:
"If you wish to build a good life for yourself,
you must not grieve over the past,
even should you suffer loss,
conduct yourself as one born anew.
"Those who strive with all their might to fulfil their life's noble mission are free of regret, self-pity, or complaint. They press forwards day after day with a freshness of spirit and newborn resolve.
"Because the sun of time without beginning shines in the hearts of all who chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, we have been able to keep forging ahead towards kosen-rufu with dauntless hope, no matter what happens. This is the pride of our eight-decade Soka movement."
