-- TO MY FRIENDS --
It is not a question of "oh, sometime in the future,"
the time to act is right now!
It is also not a question of "oh, somebody will do it,"
the person who must take the action is ourselves!
Let's all stand up with a strong burning spirit
to fulfil our noble missions of personally taking the initiative,
of being the one who takes the lead,
in all of our activities for kosen-rufu.

"Believe in this mandala with all your heart. Nam-myoho-renge-kyo is like the roar of a lion. What sickness can therefore be an obstacle?"

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"I am chanting earnestly each day for all of you who are taking action to further our movement. None are more commendable than you. Please make your way with confidence and pride.
"It's important to foster able people and support those who are making sincere efforts for kosen-rufu. At the same time, it is vital to stand up to devious or high-handed individuals. We must say what has to be said. This will enable our members to advance joyfully and with peace of mind. Don't hesitate! Speak out! As human beings and practitioners of the Daishonin's Buddhism, we must stand firm against the arrogant and ingrates. I say this for the sake of the future."
