-- TO MY FRIENDS --
To win in today's challenges and to continue to advance towards
tomorrow's victories--kosen-rufu is indeed a long journey.*
Let's sincerely chant for each other's good health
and courageously challenge ourselves, brimming with
strong life force!

*"The journey to spread the Mystic Law is long,
Yet encouraging each other,
We continue onwards hand in hand."
- President Toda's poem to the leaders at the New Year's
Gongyo Meeting on January 1, 1955 (Human Revolution,
Volume 8, "Eventful Days" chapter)

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"It is like the situation when one faces a mirror and
makes a bow of obeisance: the image in the mirror likewise
makes a bow of obeisance to oneself."

Orally Transmitted Teachings, page 165) Selection source:

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The spirit of Nichiren Daishonin's Buddhism is to take it upon ourselves to
strive earnestly to solve the major issues facing society, based on the
perspective of Buddhism. That is why the Daishonin remonstrated with the
ruling authorities of the Kamakura government through his treatise 'On
Establishing the Correct Teaching for the Peace of the Land' and set out to
guide the people towards happiness."
