-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Our deepest appreciation must go
to the Women's Division members
who strive so hard to chant for the happiness
of our friends and fellow members,
and continue, as always, to encourage them!
The women of Soka are indeed the very sun
that illuminates our society!

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Your tireless efforts are what make kosen-rufu possible. You have all been born into this world with that mission. You are all disciples of the Buddha; you are Bodhisattvas of the Earth. No matter what difficulties may lie ahead of you, you are certain to triumph in the end. You will definitely become happy. Never forget that.
"The Daishonin has entrusted all of you with realising kosen-rufu in your communities. The more you talk to others about your Buddhist practice, the more you enable them to forge a connection with Buddhism and deepen their understanding of the teachings. The more you actively go out to meet with others, the more widely you open the way to kosen-rufu. The more you strive and toil to unfurl the banner of propagation in your community, the more our great castle of happiness will expand and grow."
