-- TO MY FRIENDS --
There is no greater honour for young people
than to encounter struggles and hardships during one's youth!
Our deepest respect and appreciation goes out to the
Soka, Security and Byakuren (our youth volunteer) groups
for all your behind-the-scenes efforts.
The Buddhist gods, the protective forces of the universe,
are all praising your magnificent noble efforts.

"If one gives food to others, one will improve one's own lot, just as, for example, if one lights a fire for others, one will brighten one's own way."

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The greater the persecution by the three powerful enemies, the more certain it is that the opportunity is ripe for advancing kosen-rufu. Facing obstacles is actually cause for rejoicing. By actively challenging those obstacles, we can attain immeasurable benefits. We should rejoice over the fact that we are guaranteed eternal good fortune.
"To stay true to our Buddhist faith and practice and remain undaunted by persecution is what it means to read the Lotus Sutra with our lives. The faith we summon to struggle against difficulties will transform our being. Difficulties are opportunities! Triumph over every obstacle!"
