-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The more seriously leaders chant daimoku,
the more enthusiastically they take the initiative,
the greater their organisation's will develop and thrive.
My dearest friends,
be the one who is always the earnest and most committed,
be the tireless seeker of truth and justice!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"The mind is like a skilled painter, who creates various forms made up of the five components. Thus of all the phenomena throughout the entire world, there is not a single one that is not created by the mind."

(The Unanimous Declaration by the Buddhas of the Three Existences regarding the Classification of the Teachings and Which Are to Be Abandoned and Which Upheld - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.2, page 844)
Selection source: "Myoji no Gen", Seikyo Shimbun, March 2nd, 2010

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Mr. Toda offered encouragement and guidance to a women's division member from Saitama who was valiantly persevering in her Buddhist practice despite a lack of support and understanding from those around her. He said: 'You'll definitely be able to achieve great things for kosen-rufu. Chant to the Gohonzon. Right now there may be people in your environment who oppose your practice, but through the power of your faith, they'll someday all come to support you.'"
