-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Now is the time to take on new challenges, to try new things.
It is important though that we make our goals and targets absolutely clear
and chant daimoku concretely about what it is we want to achieve.
By having faith like that of a courageous lion king,
let's be victorious in everything we set out to do!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Arouse deep faith, and diligently polish your mirror day and night. How should you polish it? Only by chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo."

---- WORDS OF THE WEEK ----
The starting point for our kosen-rufu movement is one-to-one communication.
Hurray for our Women's Division's group leaders and their amazing efforts
to expand the circle of trust and empathy for our organisation!
Based on the unity of our women's grass root activities,*
let's create a great surge for peace and happiness.
(*)In Japan, the Women's Division have created "mini-groups" of about three to five members within each district that meet once or so a month to study and discuss.
