-- TO MY FRIENDS --
We are living in an era of rapid change.
It's important therefore
to keep a very careful eye
on various signs and indications
and take the necessary timely action.
This is the key to successful
advancement and development.
By chanting daimoku
with profound resolve,
let's wisely help others
through good "leadership."

"I am praying that, no matter how troubled the times may become, the Lotus Sutra and the ten demon daughters will protect all of you, praying as earnestly as though to produce fire from damp wood, or to obtain water from parched ground."

- WND, Vol. I, page 444)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Heart-to-heart discussion is always more effective than ordering people around. And because dialogue takes place between individuals, it requires that we respect and value the other person. This sets the stage for lively and enriching discussion meetings."
