-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Daishonin encourages us,
"I entrust you with the propagation
of Buddhism in your province."*
By always trying to show our sincerity and integrity
when we interact with others,
let's expand our bonds of trust with the people around us.
Let's determine to become the person
who is entrusted with the happiness
of everyone in our local community.

—DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT--
"There are always time constraints. If we want to achieve anything within those limitations, we can't afford to waste a single moment; the only way is to devote ourselves to each task at hand. We can't accomplish anything by just proceeding aimlessly, without careful planning."
