-- TO MY FRIENDS --
To all of our precious Future Division members
(primary and secondary school students),
no matter what you may happen,
never give in, never ever feel you've been defeated!
Now is the time in your life for constructing and "designing" yourself.
Be patient, constantly keep trying,
and build strong foundations in your life which are indestructible!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Nevertheless, even though you chant and believe in Myoho-renge-kyo, if you think the Law is outside yourself, you are embracing not the Mystic Law but an inferior teaching."
(On Attaining Buddhahood in This Lifetime - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol. 1, page 3) Selection source: Kyo no Hosshin, Seikyo Shimbun, Feb 11th, 2012

Sunday, February 12th, 2012
---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"My greatest wish is that you will all continue in the correct rhythm of putting your Buddhist faith into practice in your everyday lives so that you may become healthier and happier and lead long lives filled with great good fortune.

"...It's also my wish that you all strive, exert yourselves, and fight in the same spirit as me for the sake of those who follow after us, so that they can all say they are happy and glad that they practice this Buddhism. That's the duty of leaders as well as the key to your happiness as senior members in faith. Please engrave this deeply in your hearts."
