"What concrete steps can I take for kosen rufu today?"
Asking ourselves this question, continuously, every day,
let's play out a great drama on the stage of our respective missions!

"Whatever trouble occurs, regard it as no more than a dream, and think only of the Lotus Sutra."

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The French artist Paul Cézanne (1839-1906) once said to a young poet: 'The sun shines and hope laughs in the heart.' As practitioners of Nichiren Daishonin's Buddhism, let us also live out our lives as eternal youth brimming with a vigorous fighting spirit, with a life-force as powerful as the sun."
