-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's carefully and compassionately listen to what our fellow members have
to say.
A good leader is always a good listener.
I hope that all of our leaders will sincerely help to remove
the suffering of others and guide them towards joy.*

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"In the light of the above points, this shows, my
followers, that you had better cut short your sleep by
night and curtail your leisure by day, and ponder this!
You must not spend your lives in vain and regret it for
ten thousand years to come."
(The Problem to Be Pondered Night and Day - The Writings
of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 622) Selection source:

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"This challenge is so difficult because remaining steadfast in faith means
battling the ignorance or darkness in the depths of our lives--in other
words, making continuous efforts to transform our lives on a fundamental
level. This is an extremely arduous path because those who pursue it are
certain to be assailed by the three obstacles and four devils, along with
the three powerful enemies. However, we can only truly attain Buddhahood by
defeating these obstacles and steadfastly working on our inner
transformation."
