-- TO MY FRIENDS --
From our very own district,
let's help to raise and foster more and more new capable people.
Let's start everything by chanting determined daimoku!
Then all the walls that seem to block our way
can definitely be broken down.

tower is Abutsu-bō himself. No other knowledge is purposeful."

"Mrs. Parks, a pivotal figure in the American civil rights movement, once wrote to a young girl, a future leader: 'You can help keep hope alive by believing in yourself. Your hope for yourself and for the future can make this world a better place to live.'[1]
"Even though you may come up against an obstacle and feel trapped, if you expand your dreams to embrace the world, hope will well forth. And as long as you have hope, the path towards achieving your dreams will remain open."
