-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's try to make our district the world's best
for raising capable leaders and creating hope!
It's such determined daimoku that we chant together
that brings about great momentum and unity
and at the same time opens up the door
to victory and success.

"Cloth dipped in the liquid produced from the indigo plant becomes a deeper blue through repeated dyeing. In the same spirit, we should strive to foster a never-ending stream of successors and raise them to surpass us.
"It's important that we have faith in this principle of 'from the indigo, an even deeper blue.'
"Only a lion can foster a lion.
"The noted peace scholar and activist Elise Boulding (1920–2010), an unforgettable friend, declared in our dialogue: 'I saw raising children as peace work.'[1]
"Enabling the life of a single future division member to shine is a great endeavour for peace that will illuminate the world with hope."
