reflected in our voice.
With a heartfelt prayer for
everyone’s happiness,
let’s speak with a rich and
resonant voice that instantly
touches and brightens people’s lives.

Let’s develop our districts and groups
into the world’s greatest castle of
capable people!
Based on powerful prayer, let’s

has a mission.

Nichiren Daishonin states,
“By observing a single flower in bloom,
one can predict the advent of spring.”
One flower that blooms fragrantly
in the bitter cold wind inspires
everyone with hope and joy.
Let’s gloriously expand our “flower garden”
of friendship with the “stand alone spirit”!

abloom with flowers of dialogue,
let’s bound toward the spring
of kosen-rufu and life!
