A translation of President Ikeda's "To My Friends" published in the Seikyo Shimbun and more.

-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's put forth all our effort during the summer
so that the succession of faith and practice
will be passed down to the next generation.
It is very important that both parents and children
practice gongyo and chanting daimoku together
and spend time to talk about their own family history of kosen-rufu.
Let's lead each and every day by creating value!

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
Young people who see outstanding individuals and are inspired by them, or who always admire their friends who excel them in some way and take them as role models in their own studies are people who are steadily but surely improving and developing.
