-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Youth is a time to take on great challenges
and to learn how to persevere!
Develop and polish yourself by using the power of this faith.
By being determined never to give in,
never to be defeated, no matter what you might encounter,
build a strong and indomitable self.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"..the graceful cherry blossoms come forth from trees, (.. Misfortune comes from one 's mouth and ruins one, but fortune comes from one's heart and makes one worthy of respect.)
(New Year's Gosho - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 1137)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Whenever Mr. Toda came across a report of conflict in some part of the world or of a disaster in Japan or elsewhere, he grieved over the painful plight of those affected. And he would renew his resolve to propagate the Mystic Law so that such suffering might never recur. He genuinely wished with all his heart to eradicate misery from the face of this earth, and remained committed to this goal to the end of his life. To me, this has always epitomized the spirit of a genuine leader of the Soka Gakkai.
"'How can I help those who are suffering and living in abject misery right in front of me?' 'If I don't take action now, when will I?' Sensing the time had come, Mr. Toda courageously embarked on taking personal leadership for kosen-rufu. He declared: 'The fundamental reason for the Daishonin's appearance in this world was to help people throughout Japan--no, throughout Asia and indeed around the globe--become happy through the teaching of Nam-myoho-renge-kyo."
