-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Reading nourlishes our minds.
Good books are precious friends throughout our lives.
Let's challenge ourselves to read
great novels of all ages!
By stiving to cultivate ourselves
and to deepen our insight,
let's spend this summer
doing our best to greatly improve ourselves!

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Please always exercise common sense and put your health first. Don't stay up too late, and take care not to overeat or drink too much.
"I hope that, as leaders of our movement, you'll taketime over the summer to deliberate on ways to improve and solidify your organizations and to ensure that your regular meetings are even more satisfying and inspiring.
,"Always remember that chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo is the driving force for putting our lives on track and making our humanity shine.
"Let's lead vibrant lives in rhythm with the Mystic Law. Let's advance along the path of kosen rufu—a path of unparalleled peace, happiness, and security! And when a crucial moment comes, let's bring forth the greatest courage and forge ahead with unwavering resolve so that we can powerfully triumph in life."
