-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The energy and enthusiasm of our young people is the key
to the success and prosperity of our local communities.
Let's chant daimoku unitedly for the growth of our precious youth.
Let's always try to give them warm words of encouragement.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"...fortune comes from one's heart and makes one worthy of respect. The sincerity of making offerings to the Lotus Sutra at the beginning of the New Year is like cherry blossoms blooming from trees, a lotus unfolding in a pond, sandalwood leaves unfurling on the Snow Mountains, or the moon beginning to rise."

(New Year's Gosho - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol. 1, page 1137)
Selection source: SGI President Ikeda's guidance, Seikyo Shimbun, January 6th, 2013
