In her address delivered at the seminar, Association President Harue Nakayama stressed the significance of nurturing young women and the importance of the ten years after they grow out of the age bracket for the Boys and Girls Association and join the Women\u2019s Association when they become high school students. She emphasized that it is the association\u2019s mission to maintain awareness of nurturing them during this critical period\u2014during which they can learn things with an open mind\u2014so they can lay the foundation for becoming the women of the path.<\/p>\n
President Nakayama reflected on the successive Shinbashiras\u2019 addresses delivered at the association\u2019s conventions and encouraged the audience to make progress in their spiritual growth and fulfill their roles as members of the Women\u2019s Association, who are entrusted to nurture and guide others.<\/p>\n
In closing, she pointed out the importance of not only knowing the original intention of God the Parent, who created human beings and the world, but also fully understanding it, so it can be incorporated into our daily lives of faith. She encouraged the listeners to raise and nurture their children with the aim of helping them grow into fine Yoboku.<\/p>\n
