-- TO MY FRIENDS --
We are all extremely grateful to those of you
who have taken on the responsibility
of helping to nurture and look after
our precious future division members,
Soka's successors for the future!
Taking on this role despite being subsequently
many times busier than the rest of us,
I hope that you shine as champions wherever you are
and enjoy ten thousand times more joy and good fortune!

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Let's begin each day filled with fresh energy, together with the morning sun.
"Even when it's cloudy or raining, the sun rises every day. It never rests. When the sun shows its face, the entire world becomes bright and warm, giving life to flowers, trees, animals, and insects. In the same way, when you greet people by saying 'Good morning!' in a pleasant voice, you brighten the hearts of your friends and family members."
