-- TO MY FRIENDS --
What is most important in our activities is that we make
a wholehearted effort to raise each individual, on a personal basis,
giving each one of them the utmost of encouragement
and support possible.
That is what kosen-rufu is all about.
Let's make our own district, block, group, etc.
into the greatest solidarity of capable people!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Today there are people who have faith in the Lotus Sutra. The belief of some is like fire while that of others is like water. When the former listen to the teachings, their passion flares up like fire, but as time goes on, they tend to discard their faith. To have faith like water means to believe continuously without ever regressing."
(The Two Kinds of Faith - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 899)

---- WORDS OF THE WEEK ----
The Daishonin encourages us,
"Teach others to the best of your ability,
even if it is only a single sentence or phrase."*
Let's engage in hope-filled conversations
that will open up a way to the future.
Come young people, rally forth!
Join in the celebrations of our glorious 80th anniversary of
the Youth Culture Festival/Conference.**
