-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let us not forget to express our heartfelt appreciation to the families
who offer their homes as meeting places.
Let us also remember to be deeply appreciative
of the support the neighbours give us.
It's only because of the presence of these noble treasure castles
that we can make such great advancements
for kosen rufu in our local communities!

"I am praying that, no matter how troubled the times may become, the Lotus Sutra and the ten demon daughters will protect all of you, praying as earnestly as though to produce fire from damp wood, or to obtain water from parched ground."
(On Rebuking Slander of the Law and Eradicating Sins - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 444)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"In your heart
and in mine,
a golden morning sun shines—
how enjoyable
our shared struggle!
"'Life becomes perpetually renewed every day. This knowledge should be helpful in uplifting us,'1] wrote Mahatma Gandhi (1869–1948), the great champion of nonviolence.
"We who resonantly chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, the eternal rhythm of renewal, are able to vibrantly bring forth the sun of time without beginning in our hearts morning after morning, year after year. Let's set forth high-spiritedly, moving forward with bright, dynamic momentum, encouraging and encouraged by our fellow members throughout the world, comrades from the remote past."
