-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's chant wholeheartedly for our noble fellow members
to enjoy good health and accident-free lives.
And remember it's important to look out for each other and make an effort to stay in touch!
Let's defeat all those negative forces and obstacles,
by being extra prepared, leaving no room for negligence.

"Nam-myoho-renge-kyo is like the roar of a lion. What sickness can therefore be an obstacle?"

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"While all of us who practise the Daishonin's Buddhism embrace faith in the same Lotus Sutra (the Mystic Law) and Gohonzon, it is the strength of our faith that determines the outcome. The stronger the faith we summon, the greater the benefits we will experience and the more expansive and fulfilled the life-state we will achieve.
"...Throughout his writings, the Daishonin calls on his followers to ceaselessly apply themselves to forging their faith. For example, he says to Shijo Kingo: 'Strengthen your power of faith more than ever' (WND-1, 681), and 'You must summon up the great power of faith more than ever' (WND-1, 1000). He also praised the lay nun
Kubo for her 'ever-strengthening faith' (WND-2, 877), while encouraging the lay nun Ueno to 'strive even more earnestly in faith' (WND-1, 457). In this way, the Daishonin urges even followers of exemplary faith to keep strengthening their resolve all the more. Put another way, the spirit to keep striving even harder is the essence
of faith and the most fundamental key to practising the Daishonin's Buddhism."
