"Exert yourself in the two ways of practice and study. Without practice and study, there can be no Buddhism. You must not only persevere yourself; you must also teach others. Both practice and study arise from faith. Teach others to the best of your ability, even if it is only a single sentence or phrase."

-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Saying ,"Thank you!",
makes us feel energised.
By others hearing such words,
By others hearing such words,
they are inspired with courage.
Let's offer heartfelt words
Let's offer heartfelt words
of appreciation wherever we can
and be the ones who act
like the warm bright sun!

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"I am certain that both Presidents Makiguchi and Toda would applaud the tireless efforts of our members, who forge a head wearing the 'armour of perseverance' (LSOC 13, 233).
"The members of the Kansai women's division, with whom I have shared countless joys and hardships together over the years, once asked me what it means to wage a fierce struggle for kosen-rufu.
"I replied with a smile that even when waging a fierce struggle we can speak in a calm tone and remain pleasant as we try and get our point across. In short, the most important thing in an intense struggle, I said, is the unwavering determination to persevere and win in the end, whatever the circumstances –- the firm resolve to triumph over all and achieve one's goals.
"The tougher the challenge we face, the more we should strive to strengthen our bonds with our fellow members, supporting and encouraging one another as we move forwards in harmony and good cheer."
