-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Where flowers of smiles bloom,
joy and momentum for kosen-rufu
is born.
Brimming with abundant life force,
let's expand our
"flower garden of happiness,"
within our family, workplace
and local community!

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"In Kansai during the pioneering days of our movement, a freshly appointed women's district leader asked me earnestly how she should approach her new responsibility.
"Thanking and commending her for all her dedicated efforts, I said that she didn't need to do anything out of the ordinary, just chant daimoku, pray for the happiness of each member and encourage them kindly and considerately. By doing so, I told her, that same spirit would spread throughout the entire district. This is the meaning of 'One's body and mind at a single moment pervade the entire realm of phenomena'*(WND-1, 366). I urged her to promote kosen-rufu with confidence and courage, starting with encouraging and speaking with people in her immediate environment."
