-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's all chant for the victory of
all our friends who are challenging
upcoming entrance exams,
and give them our warmest support!
All of our Future Division members are our treasures,
who have their own important and unique missions!
Let's also give careful and considerate thought
to the family members of these students!

"A narrow slice of facts can present an appearance completely at odds with the actual truth.
"In addition, different people tend to view and interpret the same facts differently. A distorted mirror distorts everything it reflects. People with distorted minds see everything in distorted form. The capacity to see things as they truly are depends upon one's life state.
"Nichiren Daishonin writes: 'To be praised by fools—that is the greatest shame' (WND – 1, 287). Referring to this passage, Mr. Toda said: 'To be praised by the Daishonin is the greatest honour in life.'"
