-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Earnestly and seriously,
let's chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo with the great vow that we
will achieve kosen-rufu.
At that determined single moment a
total transformation will begin,
establishing the cause for certain and absolute victory
in our own lives!
* The Daishonin's Buddhism teaches the life of the Buddha as a reality.
That's why the Daishonin urges us to dedicate our lives to the great desire
for kosen-rufu. The lives of those who make this desire their own and who
work in earnest to realise their pledge to do so without backsliding in
faith gradually come to fuse with the life of the Buddha and bring forth the
state of Buddhahood.
(The World of Nichiren Daishonin's Writings, Vol.1, page 7)

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"If in a single moment of life we exhaust the pains and
trials of millions of kalpas, then instant after instant
there will arise in us the three Buddha bodies with which
we are eternally endowed. Nam-myoho-renge-kyo is just
such a 'diligent' practice."

Orally Transmitted Teachings, page 214) Selection source:

---- WORDS OF THE WEEK ----
For those fellow members who are struggling to overcome
problems right now,
let's give them all the encouragement we can,
sharing with them just how great this Buddhism of the sun is.
Let's also hold the type of discussion meeting where everyone
feels inspired to take the initiative in the advancement of
kosen-rufu,
brimming with the spirit of March 16th, Kosen-rufu Day!
