Reading is a lifelong treasure.
To all of my young friends,

and cultivate your mind.
Let's spend quality time and

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
Nakamori was exhilarated, but when he got back home, he was very busy again at work and remained unable to participate in activities regularly. Then a chapter leader sincerely offered him guidance: "I understand that you're busy with work. But when are you really going to commit to this faith? Life is short. Now is the time. Busy as you are, if you try you can find the time and strive your hardest for kosen-rufu, achieving personal growth and accumulating benefits. You need to make a decision soon and start taking action."
