-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The development of the 'district'
brimming with vigour and dynamism
is the key to the expansion
of kosen-rufu!
Leaders, let's all plunge into
the frontline of activities in high spirits,
and help everyone to manifest
their boundless strengths!

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Negative workings that arise from fundamental ignorance seek to destroy this beautiful, harmonious realm. They disrupt solidarity. If people become alienated from each other and cannot unite, they will be like the snipe and the shellfish who fall prey to the fishermen, as the Daishonin describes in the letter 'Brothers One in Mind' (cf.WND–2, 914). That would only play into the hands of destructive forces.
"Faith based on solid unity of purpose is the only way to defeat such negative workings. As the Daishonin writes: 'If the spirit of many in body but one in mind prevails among the people, they will achieve all their goals' (WND–1, 618). The 'sharp sword' of united faith in the Mystic Law will always defeat the forces of negativity."
