-- TO MY FRIENDS --
To those of you who are taking

entrance exams

for higher levels of education,

please try to do your very best!
Take extra care not to catch a cold.

And don't compare yourself with others,

be victorious over who you were yesterday!
With the underlying spirit

never to be defeated or give in

let's advance towards a glorious spring time!

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----

"The determination to never forget or forsake our vow for kosen-rufu is vital to maintaining an invincible spirit. It's important that we stay true to our vow and keep striving to fulfil it, no matter what the obstacles. This resolve is the second key to the invincible spirit that lies at the very heart of Nichiren Buddhism."
