-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Those who strive to
foster capable members
are indeed genuine capable people
dedicating themselves to kosen-rufu.
When one of us, resolutely stands up,
there is no doubt that
"two, three and hundred"*
comrades in faith will soon have
the same sense of commitment!
*"At first only Nichiren chanted Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, but then two, three, and a hundred followed, chanting and teaching others."
("The True Aspect of All Phenomena", WND-I page 385)

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Evil friends will employ enticing words, deception and flattery and speak in a clever manner, thereby gaining control over the minds of ignorant and uninformed people and destroying the good minds that are in them."
("On Reciting the Daimoku of the Lotus Sutra",
WND-ll page 221)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Without goals, progress stagnates. And when that happens, so inevitably does the organisation. Young people, in particular, need such goals.
"Travelling along a flat, straight road can become boring and monotonous. But facing a road that goes up mountains, down valleys, and through fields fills us with the excitement of fresh challenges and spurs us to prepare ourselves for what lies ahead.
New Human Revolution — Volume 27, Fierce Struggle 40, translation released December 2017
