-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Come now, 
let's take lighthearted steps 
and try to connect up with others!
By directly meeting with people, 
our hearts become closer.
When we make an effort 
to talk with each other, 
bonds are born.
Let's continue to expand our circle 
of friendships!

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The Daishonin writes: 'the Lotus Sutra is like the indigo, and the strength of one's practice is like the deepening blue' (WND – 1, 457).

"Becoming 'bluer than the Indigo' means challenging ourselves with courage. It is the courageous challenge to keep breaking through our limitations and creating new value in our lives and in society. It is a demanding, difficult undertaking, but it will lead to a wonderful drama of human revolution, brimming with limitless fulfilment and growth."

November Daibyaku Renge Editorial, 2018. A Youth of Seeking Spirit, Discovery, Challenge and Solidarity, translation released January 2019.
