May 3rd.

"MAY 3 is our initial starting point, and simultaneously, the day we make our final declaration of complete victory. It is the grand anniversary which celebrates our efforts to realise a golden age of supreme spiritual triumph and glory. May 3 is invincible, unshaken by raging tempests. May 3 is filled with jubilation and ever-victorious hope. May 3 is the day which our friends around the world rejoice, celebrate and deepen their determination to keep striving for kosen-rufu."

- Daisaku Ikeda

Let's do this together, comrades!! This is the true test of faith! This is the crucial moment we must unite, even though meetings are cancelled. For now, the coming NPSD Institution meeting and NPSD 25 Daimokukai will be cancelled too. But our kosen-rufu progress must not!

We have to be responsible for our own health, our families, our friends and for everyone around us, be it the auntie sitting beside you on the bus or the little boy who takes the same lift as you every morning. The swine flu pandemic and the world's financial crisis couldn't take place at a better time. We can encourage our loved ones and support each other in many ways. There's no need to wait for campaigns like VIVO to help others.

We can continue to keep in contact through one-to-one dialogue, small group lunches in campus, phone calls, letters, our NPSD blog, NPSD facebook account, anything you can think of. This is also the best time to practise for ourselves and others. With single-minded & fervent prayers, I'm sure our activities will resume in no time! All the best!! Take care!!

NPSD, Together We Win!
