-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Homes that are so kindly offered
by members for our meetings
are the place of practice
where many capable leaders are raised.
They are treasure castles
where we can develop good relations
with people in the local community.
Let's be sure to express
our utmost appreciation
to all of their family members!
At the same time,
let's carefully consider
their neighbours and surroundings!

"As you crave food when hungry, seek water when thirsty, long to see a lover, beg for medicine when ill, or as a beautiful woman desires powder and rouge, so should you put your faith in the Lotus Sutra."

"Mr. Makiguchi stressed that whatever one's age, a person who keeps growing day after day is young. Let's forge ahead again today with a youthful spirit, our hearts bright like the sun.
"Let's continue to expand our life state by meeting and speaking with others, and enact a triumphant drama, confident that our efforts for peace will bring good fortune and security."
