-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Trust is one of the greatest assets young people can have.
Put your very best effort into everything you do.
Make sure to keep the promise you make.
Let's be victorious by showing a good example!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Today there are people who have faith in the Lotus Sutra. The belief of some is like fire while that of others is like water. When the former listen to the teachings, their passion flares up like fire, but as time goes on, they tend to discard their faith. To have faith like water means to believe continuously without ever regressing."
(The Two Kinds of Faith - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Volume 1, page 899) Selection source: Kyo no Hosshin, Seikyo Shimbun, August 2nd, 2012

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"It's very important to regularly meet with the members in your unit. Telephoning isn't enough.
"People can better understand each other when they communicate face to face. If you don't really communicate, you can't offer true encouragement or guidance. It is your heart that matters the most in your interaction. Offering encouragement and sharing this Buddhism depend on connecting with the other person at the deepest level."
