Season's Greetings from the Shinbashira

Happy New Year

With the beginning of the New Year, the "three years, one thousand days" season leading up to the 120th Anniversary of Oyasama is upon us.

As I stated in Instruction Two, I should like us to put ever greater efforts into sprinkling the fragrance of the teachings and helping others be saved.

Church Headquarters' official visits have been under way since autumn, and the "Oyasama 120th Anniversary District Lectures" will follow later this year. Let all of us Yoboku allow these programs to help us orient our minds toward our shared goal and spiritedly work together this year in a manner that will bring joy to Oyasama.

I sincerely ask all of you to get to work in a unity of mind.

News Year's Day
