-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Nichiren Daishonin states: "The Lotus Sutra is compared to the sun."*
A refreshing and invigorating morning Gongyo and daimoku
is like a fresh new departure (towards our goals).
This in itself is like the rising sun!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
Arouse deep faith, and diligently polish your mirror day and night. How should you polish it? Only by chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo."
(On Attaining Buddhahood in This Lifetime - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 4)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Ultimately, worldwide kosen-rufu begins with encouraging the person right in front of us. This is because the fundamental spirit of the Lotus Sutra is to enable each person to awaken to the supreme nobility of their own life, and allow them to freely tap the wisdom and power of their innate Buddhahood."
