-- TO MY FRIENDS --
There is no retirement age to this practice,
there is no retirement to our life's mission.
"This is it! From now!"
Those of you who always look ahead,
are the very kings and queens of life itself!

"It is said that, if a teacher has a good disciple, both will gain the fruit of Buddhahood, but if a teacher fosters a bad disciple, both will fall into hell. If teacher and disciple are of different minds, they will never accomplish anything."

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"When we continued to chant and make our focus the development of kosen-rufu and the happiness of fellow members, all of our efforts will definitely become a source of inspiration in faith for others.
"Talking with one another, sharing in each other's joys, spending meaningful time together, and striving and winning together--such positive experiences, a wellspring of benefit and good fortune, become the cornerstones of our lives. They are certain to become a beautiful 'memory of your present life in this human world' (WND-1, 64) and your own 'wonderful story' that will endure for all time (c.f. WND-1, 499).
"Kosen-rufu is an unsurpassed adventure, in which we seek to engage in, heart to heart, humanistic interactions with people in our communities and society at large, and create brilliant achievements that shine eternally in our own lives and help others do the same."
Eternal Citadel of Soka, Soar on Wings of Boundless Hope, Live with a Positive, Invincible Spirit, from the February 16th, 2018 issue of the Seikyo Newspaper, translation released March 2018
