-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The successful advancement of kosen-rufu
is dependant on the strong firm resolve of our leaders.
Let's take the initiative in all of our activities,
set a good example for all to follow
and so inspire our fellow members to also take action.
Let's be that vital linchpin in our solidarity!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"At first only Nichiren chanted Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, but then two, three, and a hundred followed, chanting and teaching others. Propagation will unfold this way in the future as well. Does this not signify 'emerging from the earth' ?"
(The True Aspect of All Phenomena - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol. , page 385) Selection source: Kyo no Hosshin, Seikyo Shimbun, Feb 10th, 2012

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The great life philosophy of Buddhism and the spirit of Soka never change, but the times change radically, making it necessary to constantly reconsider the way meetings and training sessions are held, as well as the nature of activities so that we may come up with effective and productive methods that are in line with the times. It's the mission of successive generations to wisely shoulder that responsibility and make the necessary adjustments to ensure that the correct teachings of Buddhism eternally flourish."
