-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Gosho states: "You must not spend your lives in vain
and regret it for ten thousand years to come."*
Let us advance resolutely along the most noble path of mentor and disciple.
Burning with passion and enthusiasm to exert ourselves to the fullest,
let us live out each day meaningfully and without any regrets.

* Gosho, The Problem to Be Pondered Night and Day, WND-1, page 622, "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."

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Hence the character myo means to open."

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"There are many places where members have had a difficult time gaining the
understanding of the public and the government.... But Buddhism teaches the
principle of changing poison into medicine. When the members in a region or
country work together in a spirit of unity, they will definitely be able to
make a breakthrough and increase understanding of our movement. This is what
will enable kosen-rufu to greatly develop in the 21st century. This is
Buddhism."
