-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Come, let's prepare ourselves for July, the month of pulsating advancement,
with the Youth Division taking the lead!
With dynamic vibrant activities, ever forwards with enthusiasm,
let's throw open the doors to lush, fertile lands of hope.
Let's be the heros and heroines of great justice and sincerity.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Therefore, wherever we dwell and practise the single vehicle, that place will be the Capital of Eternally Tranquil Light."
(Reply to Sairen-bo - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, page 313)
Selection source: Kyo no Hosshin, Seikyo Shimbun, June 28th, 2010

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The Daishonin writes: 'A person who upholds the Lotus Sutra is repaying the debt of gratitude owed to father and mother' (WND-2, 638). Earnestly striving in Buddhist faith and practice is in itself the highest form of filial piety. This passage can also be interpreted as an instruction that those practising this Buddhism should not ignore filial piety. Caring for one's parents and treating them with gratitude is the way of all Buddhists."
