-- WORDS OF THE WEEK --
Let's focus our attention on 
those who are new (to the organisation.)
Let's give our best possible support 
to the new young people
so that they can unlock their potential 
and use their talents to the fullest.
Herein lies the triumph 
of the Bodhisattvas of the Earth.

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Setting to work at the most difficult times and in the most difficult places is the way to achieve great things, to open a new page of history. We should deeply take to heart this Soka Gakkai spirit.

"When we face a tough situation, that's the time we need to summon our courage.   

"The more difficult the challenge, the more bravely we must tackle it. This is the essence of the Soka Gakkai spirit. When we personally go to the most challenging places, a way forwards will open."
