-- To My Friends --
Let's advance kosen-rufu in our local communities
with our fellow members who
so kindly offer their places for our use.
Let's never forget to be considerate
of their neighbours as we come and go
and be sure to verbally express our appreciation
to the family members of our hosts!

"Therefore, those who become Nichiren's disciples and lay believers should realise the profound karmic relationship they share with him and spread the Lotus Sutra as he does. Being known as a votary of the Lotus Sutra is a bitter, yet unavoidable, destiny."

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The struggle against ageing is really a struggle against the fear of facing new challenges. The ageing process occurs more rapidly in those who start thinking that they've done enough, who lose the spirit to foster younger people, and who remain attached to the past. Those who keep challenging themselves to the end are the most admirable and youthful of all. Such people are ever young and true victors of life."
