-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Here comes autumn, a time
for fostering dedicated
capable members for Kosen-rufu!
Let's wholeheartedly and sincerely support
those who are challenging themselves
in taking the annual Buddhist exams
(on the philosophy of Nichiren Buddhism
and background of the Soka Gakkai.)
Through engraving the writings of Nichiren Daishonin
deeply in our hearts with our fellow members,
let's refresh our determination and vow for kosen-rufu!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
The sun, moon, and myriad stars are found in one's life."
