Happy New Year!
I would like to express my sincere appreciation to all of you for implementing the teachings with a firm resolve to achieve a new level of spiritual growth last year, the year in which we embarked on the anniversary-related activities.
As the new year has begun, we have entered the second year of the “three years, one thousand days” pre-anniversary period. Let us make further progress along the path this year and promote world salvation in unity of mind, thereby bringing joy to the everliving Oyasama.
I look forward to working with you once again this year.
