-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Daishonin states,
"The more one praises the blessings of the Lotus Sutra,
the more one's own blessings will increase."*
Let's make sure to give warm words of praise and admiration to everyone
who is dedicating themselves to achieving
kosen-rufu so sincerely and so selflessly.
Let's inspire each member with the type of encouragement
that gives them confidence and courage.

"This is what I have taught my disciples morning and evening, and yet they
begin to harbour doubts and abandon their faith. Foolish men are likely to
forget the promises they have made when the crucial moment comes."

283) Selection source: "Kyo no
Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, November 7th, 2008

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The Law of Nam-myoho-renge-kyo is the key to eternal victory. There is no
way that the lives of those who uphold and chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo will
end in gloom, defeat, or misery. As practitioners of the Daishonin's
Buddhism, we embrace an unsurpassed teaching; we possess a jewelled sword
and a great treasure--the Mystic Law. I hope, therefore, that you will
maintain an undefeatable spirit and achieve ultimate victory, no matter how
painful or challenging the obstacles you may encounter along the way. This
is what Buddhism teaches. Please do your best!
"Mr. Toda used to confidently state that there is plenty of money flowing
around in the world, and that if we tap into that flow with the good fortune
we accumulate through our Buddhist practise, it would readily pour into our
lives.
"Faith is of crucial importance. In this time of turbulent changes, we must
hold fast to this solid anchor."
