-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let us chant daimoku
with the type of life force that is ablaze with determination!
Let's start everything by always doing gongyo and daimoku first.
Herein lies the basis for victory, happiness and unity.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
[Again, when Nichiren and his followers recite Nam-myoho-renge-kyo], they are burning
the firewood of earthly desires, summoning up the wisdom fire of bodhi or
enlightenment.

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Fighting for peace is the mission of Buddhist practitioners who uphold the principle
of the sanctity of all life. It is vital to take concrete actions for peace. As the
English poet William Blake (1757-1827) wrote: 'Acts themselves alone are history.'"
