-- WORDS OF THE WEEK --
Friendship is the treasure of youth.
Let's carefully and sincerely nurture 
those precious relationships 
with others that we have created 
through sharing Buddhism with them.
The solidarity of young people 
who share the struggle
for securing the peace 
and happiness of the people
based on Buddhist humanism 
is the very pillar for a peaceful society.

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"We could say that, like a parent who loves their child, the Gohonzon wants to make our wishes come true and our efforts come to fruition. Therefore, pray with all your heart to the Gohonzon, like a child relying on their parents for support. It doesn't matter how many wishes you have—just chant about each one specifically and concretely. Chant with a vow to realise your prayers and keep on doing your best to make them happen."

From Building a Bright Future based on Our Vow, [19] Shijo Kingo—Part 1 [of 3], Chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo in Both Suffering and Joy, Future Journal, Oct. 1st 2019 issue, translation released May, 2021.
