-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Daishonin states,
"Though evils may be numerous, they
cannot prevail over a single great truth"*
I would like to express my utmost appreciateion
to all of our fellow members for their selfless dedication
and unceasing efforts for the sake of kosen-rufu.
Aiming towards the accomplishment
of our great vow to achieve kosen-rufu,
let us all stride together and
make monumental developments in our youth-led activities!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Although I and my disciples may encounter various difficulties, if we do not harbour doubts in our hearts, we will as a matter of course attain Buddhahood. Do not have doubts simply because heaven does not lend you protection. Do not be discouraged because you do not enjoy an easy and secure existence in this life."
(The Opening of the Eyes - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol. 1, page 283)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Those who fight on at the most challenging time are truly admirable. Those who persevere despite economic hardship and lack of position are truly praiseworthy.
"As disciples, we must always continue taking action to realise our mentor's aspirations, no matter what anyone else says or how the times may change. This is something that must remain the same. Our greatness of character is determined by such commitment."
