-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The people's sun for victory will rise from Hokuriku*,
where our fellow members are advancing in perfect unity
with the spirit of many in body but one in mind.
Today, let's take on another new challenge!
Let's live out our lives victoriously
by fulfilling the vow that we have made.
*Hokuriku region - Ishikawa, Fukui, Niigata and Toyama prefectures

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"A women's division member, who since then has constantly engaged in sincere dialogue to support friends who were suffering and to help improve her community, said with a smile: 'Though the person you reach out to may rebuff you, their inner Buddha nature is saying thank you. That's why I have roused myself with the knowledge that I must never give up on anyone, but continue to speak to their heart. I want to help as many people as possible form a connection to Nichiren Buddhism and enable them to receive good fortune. I will win with courage and gratitude as long as I live!'"
