-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Daishonin states,
"My wish is that all my disciples make a great vow."*
The resolutions that we make at the beginning of the year
will determine victory or defeat for the entire year!
My precious fellow members - Bodhisattvas of the earth,
now is the time to stand up with great resolve.

---- WORDS OF THE WEEK ----
A new dawn is upon us.
Let's advance full of joy, energy and excitement
like that of the rising sun!
Chanting daimoku is like the roar of a lion.
Let's advance towards victory with dynamic life force.
