-- TO MY FRIENDS --
To my dearest friends of the great Kanto region* --
stand up as courageous lions always actively involved
in all of our activities for kosen-rufu.
With the undying and invincible "Kanto spirit",
may you create a remarkable history
of winning successive great victories!

* The Kanto region, located on the main island of Japan, is the area that includes Tokyo and 6 other prefectures.

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Chanting daimoku is a joyous declaration that the boundless life-state of Buddhahood is inherent in our lives. It is also a call to awaken others to this truth.

"When the daimoku of the Mystic Law is chanted powerfully and comes to pervade everything, then all living beings in the Ten Worlds will be invigorated and society will be peaceful and secure."
