-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Buddhism is based on the Law of cause and effect,
and therefore there is absolutely no such thing
as any of our efforts going to waste or being of no value.
With the courage to resolutely never retreat, not even one step,
let's enthusiastically devote ourselves to all our activities for
kosen-rufu.
It is certain that we will accumulate great benefit and
good fortune that will shine resplendently in on our lives.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"It is rare to be born a human being. The number of those
endowed with human life is as small as the amount of earth
one can place on a fingernail. Life as a human being is
hard to sustain--as hard as it is for the dew to remain on
the grass."

(The Three Kinds of Treasure - The Writings of Nichiren
Daishonin, Vol.1, page 851) Selection source: "Kyo no
Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, October 2nd, 2008

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"People of genuine humanity directly and candidly express their gratitude to
others. There can be no humanism without gratitude or expression of
feeling."
