-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Towards the victory of all those who are
about to sit examinations,*
let's all chant daimoku and
warmly encourage them!
The great development and growth of
these treasured capable young people
is the hope and joy of our communities.
Let's also be supportive and understanding
of their families at this particular time.

* Certain countries' young people are just about to finish their school year which means changing school and subsequent graduation and entrance exams along with other qualifying exams.

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Joy lies in taking action. Human revolution lies in challenging oneself for kosen-rufu.

"I hope you will strive actively in your practice of gongyo and chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, tackling each problem before you, and work on positively transforming your lives, one step at a time.

"Bearing in mind the Daishonin's message to 'strengthen your faith day by day and month after month" (WND-1, 997), please energetically blaze new trails where none have existed before.'

SGI Newsletter No. 9197, Humanistic Teachings for Victory, Blaze New Trails Where None Have Existed Before, Working on Your Personal Growth, from 16th Oct., 2013, issue of the Soka Shimpo, translation released 5th Feb., 2015
