-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Together with our
treasured fellow members 
of our districts,
let's make a fresh start 
with the spirit of 
many in body but one in mind!
And as the Daishonin encourages us
"transcending all differences 
among themselves 
to become as inseparable
as fish and the water 
in which they swim,"*
let's develop the type of solidarity 
that creates happiness.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"From this single element of mind spring all the various lands and environmental conditions."

("The Unanimous Declaration by the Buddha of the Three Existences regarding the Classification of the Teachings and Which Are to Be Abandoned and Which Upheld" 
- WND, Vol. 2, page 843)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Melos would have kept running to save Selinuntius even if, at the execution ground, Selinuntius had lost faith and denounced him. And even if Melos had decided to flee for his life, Selinuntius would have stood by him, praising his loyalty and assuming he had been killed somewhere at the king's behest.

"Remaining true to our vow does not depend on what others do. We act based on our own convictions. Osamu Dazai writes of Melos: 'He ran, propelled by some immense, unnameable force.' That immense force is our universal faith in humanity, the unchanging principle of truth and justice. The vow we make with a friend inspires us to stand alone and live up to our beliefs. When both do so, the most beautiful drama or friendship, unfolds."
