-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Daishonin states,
"The more one praises the blessings of the Lotus Sutra,
the more one's own blessings will increase."*
Hooray to all the courageous heroes and heroines of kosen-rufu!
Let's be sure to tell one another how grateful and appreciative we are
of all the great struggles and challenges we have undertaken together this year!

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"'[Those who] put faith in the Lotus Sutra alone and chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo will transform the three paths of earthly desires, karma, and suffering into the three virtues of the Dharma body, wisdom, and emancipation.' (cf. WND-1, 420)
"Through his own life and actions, the Daishonin set a supreme example of not being defeated by any problem, negative karma, or hardship--an example of boldly confronting and challenging adversity, and thereby manifesting the life, the wisdom and the state of being of the Buddha."
