-- TO MY FRIENDS --
By making every effort to support and pull together
all of our local community's talents and strengths,
let's do our very best to foster
young able individuals locally.
It's by offering warm kind words of encouragement,
believing in young people's capabilities,
that we ignite a flame of profound mission
in their lives.

"It is said that, if a teacher has a good disciple, both will gain the fruit of Buddhahood, but if a teacher fosters a bad disciple, both will fall into hell. If teacher and disciple are of different minds, they will never accomplish anything."

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The vibrant dynamism of our members as they take action for the happiness of their friends and to build a peaceful society is inspiring to behold.
"…Nichiren Daishonin writes: 'How fortunate, how joyous, to think that with this unworthy body I have received in my heart the seeds of Buddhahood!' (WND-1, 578).
"Embracing the Mystic Law, we have planted the seeds of Buddhahood in our lives. If we remain steadfast in faith, we are certain to attain the fruit of Buddhahood. What a source of joy and happiness this is!
"While nurturing the great tree of our own happiness, we also sow the seeds of Buddhahood in the hearts of others, creating lives overflowing with boundless joy for both ourselves and others."
