-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's be sure to show our 
utmost appreciation to those
who provide their homes, etc. 
for us to hold meetings in!
By taking preventative measures 
to stop the spread of the virus
and paying careful attention 
to the ending of our gatherings,
let's have really happy joyful 
discussion meetings!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Human beings have life owing to food, and regard food as their treasure. Life is the foremost of all treasures. It is expounded that even the treasures of the entire major world system cannot equal the value of one's body and life. Even the treasures that fill the major world system are no substitute for life."

(The Gift of Rice 
- WND, Vol. 1, page 1125)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Cherry trees remain undefeated by the harsh winter cold to produce beautiful flowers.

"Human beings have the same potential. When we are faced with hardship or something we find difficult, as long as we give our all with the determination not to be defeated, we can grow and develop beyond our imagination. Happiness and victory are found in making continuous efforts.

"Like the cherry trees that bloom even after the coldest winter, you, too, can cause flowers of victory to bloom in your lives without fail. Therefore, please keep pressing ahead, patiently, energetically and dynamically."

Treasures of the Four Seasons, [13] Cherry Blossoms in Full Bloom: Let's Set Forth with Hope!, from April 2019 edition of the Hope News, translation released August 2020.
