-- TO MY FRIENDS --
To all those students who are striving hard for their
end-semester and other examinations during this hot summer -- we wish you the very best!
All the strenuous efforts we make during our youth
turn into priceless treasures for the rest of our lives!
So let's keep on going and win over ourselves!

"It must be ties of karma from the distant past that have destined you to become my disciple at a time like this. Shakyamuni and Many Treasures certainly realised this truth. The sutra's statement,"Those persons who had heard the Law dwelled here and there in various Buddha lands, constantly reborn in company with their teachers," cannot be false in any way."
(The Heritage of the Ultimate Law of Life - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 217)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The true, hope-filled picture of kosen-rufu is when our frontline organizations are forging ahead with energy and optimism, solidly united in purpose. It is important, therefore, that all of our leaders enthusiastically exert themselves on the front lines, inspiring others to action and imparting courage and joy to members on the district level. Let's stir up a powerful groundswell of encouragement and widely expand our network of individuals dedicated to the cause of good."
