-- WORDS OF THE WEEK --
"If the Law that one embraces 

is supreme,
then the person who embraces it 

must accordingly be foremost 

among all others."*
To all "new" adults 

who have come of age, 

our proud fellow 

Bodhisattvas of the Earth,
spend the "foremost" of your youth 

adorned with victory and success!

Illuminate the world 

with the light of value creation!

"It is the heart that is important. No matter how earnestly Nichiren prays for you, if you lack faith, it will be like trying to set fire to wet tinder."

(The Strategy of the Lotus Sutra 

- WND, Vol. 1, page 1000)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"May you, too, never be defeated! 

Someday on this noble path 

of the vow we share,

forge on bravely 

through blizzard and storm!

This is the pride of Melos.

Ah, eagerly awaiting that time with a thousand emotions.

"The vow for kosen-rufu, we make with fellow members is also a vow to ourselves, and it begins with us standing up alone to fulfil our own mission. Even if a friend in faith should fall along the way or abandon their vow, we must continue pressing forwards on the path of our convictions." 

The New Human Revolution—Vol.28, Songs of Kosen-rufu 65, translation released December 2022.
