-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Now is the time for us to tap into the great power of
faith and practice that each one of us possesses within our own lives
and draw forth the power of the Buddha and the Law.*
By chanting vibrant daimoku with strong faith,
let's rouse all the Buddhist gods,
the protective forces of the universe,
into action!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"It is rare to be born a human being. The number of those
endowed with human life is as small as the amount of earth
one can place on a fingernail. Life as a human being is
hard to sustain--as hard as it is for the dew to remain on the grass."
(The Three Kinds of Treasure - The Writings of Nichiren
Daishonin, Vol.1, page 851) Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin",

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"I see nothing admirable about people who put on airs and don't want to get their hands dirty with real work. To me, truly admirable are those who work hard for the people, no matter what the personal cost. At a certain point in every field of endeavour, one will encounter a seemingly insurmountable obstacle. The only way to get past that is by challenging oneself."
SGI Newsletter No. 7822, Dialogues with World Citizens, Jun Ui—Pioneer in Pollution Research, from the Feb. 26th, 2009, issue of the Seikyo Shimbun, translated July 21st, 2009
