-- TO MY FRIENDS --
As "leaders" of kosen-rufu,
let's all take the initiative in our activities
and complete this February,
the traditional month for our expansion and development,
by achieving the greatest results ever!
"We will certainly be victorious, no matter what!"
Such a strong and decisive determination like this
is what opens up paths to a glorious history of our movement.

"The great distances these persons travelled are indicative of their devotion."

--DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT--
"Chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo is the source of all victory. Nichiren Daishonin writes: 'Suffer what there is to suffer, enjoy what there is to enjoy. Regard both suffering and joy as facts of life, and continue chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, no matter what happens' (WND-1, 681).
"Whether your heart is filled with joy or with suffering, simply take all your thoughts and feelings, just as they are, to the Gohonzon. Continue chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo through all. That's the way to adorn your life with brilliant victory and help others do the same. Refusing to be daunted by any hardship, please live out your life with joy and optimism, and impart courage and hope to everyone."
