-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Gosho states: "Buddhism primarily concerns itself with victory or defeat."*
When we win, unlimited happiness is certain to well up from the depths of our beings
and our lives are sure to overflow with good fortune!
Let us leave no stone unturned to ensure a dramatic turn-around in whatever seems
like a tough situation,
and then let's savour the thrill and joy of having achieved a resounding victory.

* "The Hero of the World" - WND-I, page 835

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"As practitioners of the Daishonin's Buddhism, we not only deal with our own problems
and worries, but concern ourselves with the welfare of others and the development of
kosen-rufu. All of these different problems and concerns motivate us to chant
daimoku. We can also turn them into an impetus for taking the best course of action
for our happiness. Faith gives us the strength to tap the life-force needed to do so.
The Mystic Law is the ultimate key to realizing a life of eternity, happiness, true
self, and purity."
