-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Enthusiastically and in cheerful spirits,
let's live out our lives to the fullest.
It is on the noble path of achieving kosen-rufu and justice,
that we can perform the great drama of our
own human revolution.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"When someone reported to me, however, that you had been
taken with this illness, day and night, morning and
evening I addressed the Lotus Sutra on the matter, morning
and evening I implored the gods of the blue heavens. And
now today I have received word that you have recovered
from illness. Could any tidings be more joyful than
these?"

Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, February 21st, 2009

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
""...one of the titles of the Buddha is 'One Who Can Endure.' With the great
power of endurance, build a life as indestructible and imperishable as a
diamond.
''Don't be defeated!'
'Resolutely take the lead!'--
my mentor's voice
still resonates powerfully
in the depths of my being.
"My mentor Josei Toda rousingly encouraged a suffering friend, saying:
"All people face periods of despair. But if we endure such times and ride
them through, then all those problems and worries will later come to seem
small and insignificant. Nothing can obstruct the tremendous power of the
Mystic Law. If you rise up boldly in the face of devilish functions with the
firm resolve to battle them head-on and win, they'll beat a hasty retreat.
No matter what happens, just keep sending them flying!"
