-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Youth, burning with passion and pride,
may you advance like raging storms or billowing waves,
(leaving no stone unturned) as we prepare to commemorate March 16th,
the day when mentor and disciple are united in taking the solemn pledge for kosen-rufu!
In the same spirit as the Daishonin, let's each determine:
"This is my vow, and I will never forsake it!"(*)
* "(I will be the pillar of Japan. I will be the eyes of Japan. I will be the great ship of Japan.) This is my vow, and I will never forsake it!"
(The Opening of the Eyes - Part 1 - WND 1, page 280-281)

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"If we are to believe these dying words of the Buddha, we must conclude that the Lotus Sutra is the only bright mirror we should have, and that through it we can understand the heart of all the sutras."
(On Repaying Debts of Gratitude - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 692)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"As the eminent Indian poet Rabindranath Tagore (1861�E941) wrote: "[Man] misses himself when isolated; he finds his own larger and true self in his wide human relationship.�E The existence of others is indispensable for people to remain enthusiastic and follow through on their original commitments. An organization that promotes sound human relationships is necessary for this."
