-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The great Chubu region*, our proud stronghold,
is the 'battlefield' for us to take on a decisive
challenge for the future of kosen-rufu and win.
Let's all burn with the spirit of oneness of mentor and disciple,
and shine like the sun by achieving complete victory!
* Chubu region - Aichi, Gifu and Mie prefectures, between Tokyo and Osaka on the mainland of Japan.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Although I and my disciples may encounter various difficulties, if we do not harbour doubts in our hearts, we will as a matter of course attain Buddhahood."

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The true purpose of education is to develop human beings. It is the process of using knowledge as the sustenance to foster people who can demonstrate infinite creativity and self-reliance. Gaining knowledge is indispensable for guiding a changing society, but knowledge itself is not the same as creativity. Education must enable us to manifest our inner potential, and learning is just a catalyst for drawing that out.
"What is the force, then, that dynamically converts knowledge into creativity? ... it is your awareness and sense of responsibility as a member of society. Creativity flowers in the process of utilizing the rich store of knowledge you've acquired through examining real-life situations of the people to contribute to their betterment and advancement.'"
SGI Newsletter No. 7947, The New Human Revolution--Vol. 23: Chap. 2, Light of Learning 3, translated March 3rd, 2010
