Fostering our Future Division members,*
who will inherit the soul of the Mystic Law,** 
is the most lofty and noble endeavour 
that we can do in our lives. 
Let's show our respect and appreciation to all of those 
who are supporting these precious young people, 
in various activities! 

* School aged young people, basically 5 or 6 to 18.
**"I have been ceaselessly praying for your sake to the Lotus Sutra, Shakyamuni Buddha, and the god of the sun, for I am convinced that you are a person who can inherit the soul of the Lotus Sutra." - "The Hero of the World", WND-I, page 839

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Outstanding people maintain their self respect even when they are bullied or harassed. Bullies and critics are no match for such people. No matter how much money you may have or what your position in society may be, it is having pride and accepting yourself for who you are, without worrying about what others think, that makes you a person worthy of respect."

Rainbow of hope-Great Figures of the World, (33) Rosa Parks, from the Dec. 1st, 2016 issue of the Mirai (Future) Journal, translation released Jan. 2018
