-- To My Friends --

The key to sincerely encouraging a person

lies in "listening" rather than "talking!"

Let's strive to become beacons

of hope and reassurance for our friends

so as to help ease their hearts

and help them to gain peace of mind.

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----

"In my own capacity as an individual, I will continue to advance kosen-rufu with all my being. I hope that each of you will also awaken to your unique personal mission and stand up on your own to carry it out. The important thing is being committed to dedicating one's life to kosen-rufu, no matter what."
