It is our youth division who have what it takes
to open up the path to victory!
Take bold action, converse fearlessly
and make all-out efforts to become victorious.

"More valuable than treasures in a storehouse are the treasures of the body, and the treasures of the heart are the most valuable of all. From the time you read this letter on, strive to accumulate the treasures of the heart!"
(The Three Kinds of Treasure - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 851)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Many people are concerned about the fact that neighbourhood and community ties have weakened in recent years. In his treatise 'On Establishing the Correct Teaching for the Peace of the Land,' the Daishonin writes: 'If you care anything about your personal security, you should first of all pray for order and tranquillity throughout the four quarters of the land, should you not?' (WND-1, 24). 'The four quarters of the land' refers to the area in the four compass directions; it includes our local community and extends to include the entire world. Accordingly, 'order and tranquillity throughout the four quarters of the land' means a safe and secure environment in our community and, on a larger scale, world peace.
"When we value our relations with our neighbours and pray for their health and happiness, we set the stage for genuine communication that allows us to open our hearts to one another. When we offer deep prayer for the prosperity and welfare of our community, it will lead to our own happiness--or to use the Daishonin's words, our own 'personal security'--returning to us as benefit in our own life. This is an unerring principle."
