-- TO MY FRIENDS --
People who challenge to make their mornings productive and purposeful,
go on to be victorious in life!
By starting the day off with sonorous and focused daimoku,
let's advance overflowing with fresh energy and vitality
so that we may spend each and every day without any regrets!

—— DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"…please reach out to those who can't attend meetings, keep them informed, and encourage them—this is most important.

"At the prefecture/county/state level, even if you announce new activities by holding chapter leaders meetings, if this does not filter down from the block leaders, our movement will not advance. It's like thinking that a body of water is moving just because there are ripples on its surface. Kosen-rufu only really advances when each individual at the front lines of the organisation takes action with renewed determination.

"Further, at meetings to promote activities, it's important to set clear goals of what you wish to achieve. If the participants are left thinking, 'Well, they mentioned a lot of things, but I don't really know what I should be doing,' then you have not succeeded."
