-- TO MY FRIENDS --
From the bottom of our hearts,
we would all like to thank our various volunteer groups
for their hard work and selfless dedication
in cleaning and maintaining our Soka castles.
We are sincerely chanting that you stay in good health
and that you do not catch any colds.
May the noble lives of all of you shine gloriously!

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"My mentor, second Soka Gakkai president Josei Toda, said: 'You are all Bodhisattvas of the Earth, born into this world with a great mission and potential. Believe in yourselves and make your way in life with confidence! The key to victory is striving with absolute tenacity to weather and win through each day of struggle and hardship!'"
