-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The future of kosen-rufu depends on how the disciples follow through.
Courageously challenge yourself and open up the way to victory.
Now is the time for you to be absolutely determined
to achieve what you set out to do
and to inherit the fighting spirit of a lion king.

"The Lotus Sutra is like the seed, the Buddha like the sower, and the people like the field. If you deviate from these principles, not even I can save you in your next life."
(The Essentials for Attaining Buddhahood - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 748)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The power one person possesses is unfathomable.
"In the historic Battle of Plataea in 479 B.C.E., the Greek army won a significant victory against the Persian Empire. There was one youth among the Greeks, who was considered the finest and on whom everyone had placed high hopes. But, for some reason, perhaps a lack of vigilance, he was struck down even before the battle began. In contrast, it was a person who had frequently been insulted and dismissed as cowardly, whom the history books record to be the hero of the day for having fought most courageously and performed the greatest deeds in the actual battle. A person's true worth is demonstrated at a crucial moment.
"In the great struggle for kosen-rufu, you are all capable individuals with a noble mission. As all of you encourage and help each other grow and develop, please give full play to the wonderful abilities and potential you each possess."
