-- TO MY FRIENDS --
To all of our respectworthy fellow members of Aichi*
Shine as the brightest star in the sky
as you set the pace for the complete victory of Soka!
Blaze with a tenacious, unwavering challenging spirit!
Run to your very limits along the path illuminated
by the noble pledge of mentor and disciple!
*Aichi is a prefecture of Japan located in the Chubu region. It's capital is Nagoya.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"And yet, though one might point at the earth and miss it, though one might bind up the sky, though the tides might cease to ebb and flow and the sun rise in the west, it could never come about that the prayers of the practitioner of the Lotus Sutra would go unanswered."
(On Prayer - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 345)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Mr. Toda once said to a young women's division member: 'If you aren't going to create happiness in the place where you are now, where else are you going to find it?' We must develop inner strength. We need to transform ourselves and become people who aren't defeated by life's struggles.
"The English poet John Milton (1608-74) wrote: 'Our faith and knowledge thrives by exercise, as well as our limbs and complexion.'
"I hope you will continue challenging yourselves based on your Buddhist practice and bring victory to bloom in your communities and societies."
