-- TO MY FRIENDS --
If we are united with the spirit of many in body but one in mind,
the momentum of our advancement for kosen-rufu will be multiplied.
Becoming 'as inseparable as fish and the water in which they swim' with all of our district's members,*
let's all advance together victoriously and in harmony!
*"All disciples and lay supporters of Nichiren should chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo with the spirit of many in body but one in mind, transcending all differences among themselves to become as inseparable as fish and the water in which they swim. This spiritual bond is the basis for the universal transmission of the ultimate Law of life and death. Herein lies the true goal of Nichiren's propagation. When you are so united, even the great desire for widespread propagation can be fulfilled. But if any of Nichiren's disciples disrupt the unity of many in body but one in mind, they would be like warriors who destroy their own castle from within." - "The Heritage of the Ultimate Law of Life", WND-I, page 217

---- WORDS OF THE WEEK ----
It's important that we first of all chant daimoku!
There is no strategy that can surpass the strategy of the Lotus Sutra.
Through chanting resonant daimoku,
let's strengthen our life force
and enhance the powers of the protective forces of the universe
for the sake of our victories and successes
