-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Proactive initiative results in victory.
Slow, unresponsive efforts result in defeat.
With a vision towards the future
let's move with lightning speed!
Bravely and resolutely,

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"There may be times when life itself seems a burden, when we feel trapped or weighed down by something, when we feel passive and a victim of circumstances, or when we feel somehow lost. Those are the times to shed our passivity and turn it into initiative, telling ourselves, 'I'm going to follow through on this path!' 'I'm going to carry out my mission for today!' When we decide to do so, a genuine spring will dawn in our hearts, and flowers will start to bloom.

"Persevering for us means continuing in our efforts to chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo and share Nichiren Buddhism with one person after another. We who know this sure and practical way for transforming winter into spring are fortunate indeed."
