Summer is a wonderful opportunity
to deepen friendships with our
neighbors.
Let’s engage in
heartwarming exchanges
by participating in local events
and other activities.

“Learning is light.”
Leaders should always
endeavor to study,
making efforts to
develop oneself.
Become excellent leaders
armed with a profound
philosophy and wise insight.

Never give up!
With invincible resolve and
indomitable efforts, we can
open the door to brilliant victory.
Let’s make a fresh start with
strong prayers that rouse
the protective forces of the
universe to action!

The Daishonin reminds us of
“the debt of gratitude to be paid
to one’s father and mother.”(*)
Let’s express our appreciation in words
and give them the most beautiful smile!
Treating our parents with kindness and
consideration throughout our lives
is the quintessential path in Buddhism.

Let’s express our heartfelt
appreciation to the families
who offer the use of their homes
for meetings and support kosen-rufu

Let’s all protect these treasured castles
of our communities and expand our
network of friendship and trust!
