-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The times call for great changes.
Let's be the ones who succeed, the ones who win
by constantly taking the initiative and making the first move.
Let's be absolutely sure to take concrete steps
that every single meeting is based on daimoku
and thorough preparation.
Now is the time to build a dynamic momentum for victory!

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"If you change, then your family will also change. Everything begins with you. If you chant earnestly for your family's happiness, your sincerity will reach them without fail.

"...Family members are connected by profound and wondrous ties. Through the care and appreciation you show them with even simple words or gestures, you can compose an uplifting song of the joy of living and paint a rich canvas of life. You can create a melody that brings happiness to the entire family."
