-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's all live out our lives, to the very last moment,
dedicating ourselves to achieving kosen-rufu
and to practicing this faith.
Cheerfully and enthusiastically,
let's continue to advance forever!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Although I and my disciples may encounter various difficulties, if we do
not harbour doubts in our hearts, we
will as a matter of course attain Buddhahood. Do not have doubts simply
because heaven does not lend you protection. Do not be discouraged because
you do not enjoy an easy and secure existence in this life."
(The Opening of the Eyes - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page
283) Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, October 29th, 2008

"The Daishonin writes: 'It is the power of the Buddhist Law that enables the
deities of the sun and moon to make their rounds of the four continents'
(WND-1, 685). The entire universe moves in accord with the fundamental
rhythm of the Mystic Law. By vibrantly chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo as we
keep moving forwards and striving to surmount all hardships and problems
that come our way, our lives fall in sync with the ultimate law of the
universe.
"Just after being released from my unjust arrest in Osaka in 1957, I sent a
letter to the members in Kansai, in which I wrote: 'Let's pledge to press
ahead undaunted by any difficulty or setback. Life is a struggle to the very
end.'
"Our times are growing more troubled day by day. Losing courage will only
leave one at the mercy of ever-changing circumstances."
