-- TO MY FRIENDS --
To all of those students who are studying so hard
for their school entrance exams,
let's give them the warmest encouragement we possible can.
Every effort that you are making right now
will definitely become the driving force to open up your future.
May you all courageously challenge yourselves and become champions of youth!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Never seek this Gohonzon outside yourself. The Gohonzon exists only within the mortal flesh of us ordinary people who embrace the Lotus Sutra and chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo."
(The Real Aspect of the Gohonzon - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 832)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Nichiren Daishonin writes: 'Life is limited; we must not begrudge it. What we should ultimately aspire to is the Buddha land' (WND-1, 214).
"Halfhearted efforts produce no lasting results. Great strength and benefit emerge when we stand up with courageous faith.
"Each and every one of our members who is valiantly challenging and overcoming various obstacles through the power of faith is a precious treasure.
"Let's eternally protect the harmonious unity of Soka!
"Let's advance kosen-rufu by continuing to make sincere efforts to always cherish each person."
