-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Our palms are pressed in admiration and appreciation to all of you
who have dedicated your entire being
for the sake of your friends and fellow members,
and for the sake of kosen-rufu!
"It is the heart that is important."*
This is the essential spirit of the founding of our organization.
* Gosho, The Strategy of the Lotus Sutra, WND-1, page 1000, "It is the heart that is important. No matter how earnestly Nichiren prays for you, if you lack faith, it will be like trying to set fire to wet tinder. Spur yourself to muster the power of faith."

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"In a world such as ours, when the problems facing one region or country quickly become global problems, we cannot afford to remain self-centred. In order to develop the kind of character that enables us to empathise with the sufferings of others and take appropriate action, we need to strive tirelessly to transform ourselves from within. This, I believe, is the only way out of the morass of problems confronting us today."
