-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Oh members of the great Chubu Region,
the indomitable stronghold of our kosen-rufu movement!
From the very heart of Japan you continue to set the pace
that opens up and steers the history of the country.
Let's never forget our pledge to walk along "this path*"
as we consistently advance with an unwavering spirit!

*Reference to the "Song of This Path" of the Chubu (Central) Region.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Nam-myoho-renge-kyo is like the roar of a lion. What sickness can
therefore be an obstacle?"

(Reply to Kyo'o - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 412)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"A famous passage from Nichiren Daishonin urges us: 'Strengthen your faith day by day and month after month. Should you slacken in your resolve even a bit, devils will take advantage' (WND-1, 997).

"Even small matters should be taken seriously. Therefore, we must be constantly vigilant. It's important that we solidify our alliance for kosen-rufu.

"When you set a goal, exert yourself to the fullest to achieve it. Never hold back; do what needs to be done. That is the key.

"A citadel of the people cannot be built through halfhearted efforts."

SGI Newsletter No. 8797, On Our Shared Journey for Kosen-rufu—II, (4) Build a Noble Citadel of the People, translated 8th July, 2013 from 28th January, 2013, issue of the Seikyo Shimbun.
