-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Daishonin teaches,
"(The Law does not spread by itself):
because people propagate it,
both people and the Law are respectworthy."*
As there are people
who are courageous
and have unwavering conviction,
kosen-rufu will develop widely.
Let's proudly advance
along the path of happiness!
*From "Hyaku Rokka Sho"
(The One Hundred and Six Comparisons),
which is not included in WND-l and ll.
English translation from NHR Vol 26 page 160.

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Even if you only continue something for a few days and stop, you'll still have achieved a few days' growth. And if you keep doing this 10 times you'll have accomplished around a months worth of growth! Those who keep refreshing their determinations and cheerfully trying again and again will win in the end.
"Your efforts to challenge yourself will inspire and encourage not only your friends, family and people in your community, but also those who follow in your footsteps in the future."
Towards 2030—To Our Bright beacons of Hope, [28] Summer Is an Opportunity to Challenge New Things, July 1st, 2022 issue of Hope News, translation released October 2022.
