-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Whenever we study the Gosho,
our lives naturally overflow with the wisdom needed to be victorious.
Our hearts are filled with courage,
and we can discover the amazing joy of living!
So let's all become the great champions of the two ways of practice and study*!
* The two ways of practice and study: "Among these three fundamentals, faith is considered most important. But it can never be separated from practice and study. Our faith, or growing confidence, naturally leads us to practice and study more. Practice and study, through which we accumulate experiences and wisdom, lead to stronger faith. This is why Nichiren encourages us to exert yourself in the two ways of practice and study. Without practice and study, there can be no Buddhism¡¦(The True Aspect of All Phenomena,¡¦The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, vol. 1, p. 386). These two sentences sum up exactly what we need to do in order to develop our faith.

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Listening to others' suggestions and striving tirelessly to implement them are the keys to producing the best possible outcomes. There is no advance or improvement when people's opinions are ignored or ruled out as impractical from the start. That only leads to stagnation."
