-- TO MY FRIENDS --
To our friends in the Young Mrs division*
who boldly walk the path of their noble missions.
"No matter what situation I find myself in, I'll never ever give up,"
always remember that this is the spirit
that makes you one of our noble mothers of Soka!
* The "Young Mrs division" is part of the Women's division and comprises of young mothers or young married women, usually in their 20's and 30's.

"I have believed it is most important to understand one's obligations to others, and made it my first duty to repay such debts of kindness. In this world, we owe four debts of gratitude. One who understands this is worthy to be called human, while one who does not is no more than an animal."
(Conversation between a Sage and an Unenlightened Man - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 122)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Five centuries ago, the Polish astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus (1473–1543) asked: 'What is there more beautiful than the heavens, which, after all, encompass everything that is beautiful?' But, I assert, there is something here on Earth as beautiful as the stars in the heavens--the brilliant light shining within the lives of human beings who struggle fearlessly for truth and justice. A network of individuals dedicated to their convictions is a priceless treasure of the universe, shining like the brightest star."
