-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Daishonin states,
"... King Wu's men defeated him because of perfect unity."*
Unity is indeed the driving force for victory.
Let's be united in our hearts towards achieving our goal,
playing out a splendid drama of perfect unity
and so achieve great victory!
* "King Chou of Yin led seven hundred thousand soldiers
into battle against King Wu of Chou and his eight hundred
men. Yet King Chou's army lost because of disunity while
King Wu's men defeated him because of perfect unity." -

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"I am praying that, no matter how troubled the times may
become, the Lotus Sutra and the ten demon daughters will
protect all of you, praying as earnestly as though to
produce fire from damp wood, or to obtain water from
parched ground."
(On Rebuking Slander of the Law and Eradicating Sins - The
Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 444) Selection

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Favourable circumstances don't necessarily mean that one will achieve
something great; by the same token, flashy, noticeable activities may not
always be of significant value. In most cases, truly meaningful work or an
undertaking that goes down in history is the result of the steady
accumulation of persistent, inconspicuous efforts."
