-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let us attack our goals with a strong tenacious spirit
and take "yet another step forwards"!
The untapped potential lying deep within our lives is truly infinite and
immeasurable.
With immense power bursting forth, in full force,
let us seize a decisive victory.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
The heart of strategy and swordsmanship derives from the Mystic Law. Have profound
faith. A coward cannot have any of his prayers answered."
(The Strategy of the Lotus Sutra - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, page 1001)
Selection source: Kyo no Hosshin, Seikyo Shimbun, July 9th, 2007

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Nichiren Daishonin's Buddhism enables us to transform our karma, achieve our human
revolution, and contribute to creating a better society. The only way to establish a
state of indestructible happiness for oneself and others and to realise lasting peace
for all is to further kosen-rufu by sharing this Buddhism with others. Kosen-rufu is
the vow of Nichiren Daishonin and the vow of the Soka Gakkai, which advances in
perfect accord with the spirit of the Daishonin.

"'In 'The Opening of the Eyes,' the Daishonin expressed his fierce determination to
fulfil that pledge with the words: 'Let the gods forsake me. Let all persecutions
assail me. Still I will give my life for the sake of the Law' (WND-1, 280)."
