-- TO MY FRIENDS --
To all of our young leaders who bear the great responsibility
of shouldering the future!
Never forget the importance of putting strong prayer first.
Never allow yourselves to break the promise
of realising complete victory!
Show the way by being Soka's champions of hope!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Since childhood, I, Nichiren, have never prayed for the secular things of this life but have single-mindedly sought to become a Buddha. Of late, however, I have been ceaselessly praying for your sake to the Lotus Sutra, Shakyamuni Buddha, and the god of the sun, for I am convinced that you are a person who can inherit the soul of the Lotus Sutra."
(The Hero of the World - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol. 1, page 839)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Kosen-rufu, or the widespread propagation of the Law, is the 'practice of Buddhas' arising out of the profound compassion that Buddhas have for all living beings, and it is also the 'practice of bodhisattvas' undertaken by bodhisattva disciples who make this compassionate spirit of Buddhas their own.
"The true power for spreading the Mystic Law is born when each of us, as a practitioner, directly connects our life to the correct teacher of the Law and the true mentors of kosen-rufu.
"...If we faithfully exert ourselves as the Buddha teaches, we can break through any obstacle we may encounter. Practising in accord with the Buddha's teachings means disciples challenging themselves in the same spirit as their teacher or mentor. When we unerringly walk the path of mentor and disciple, we can bring forth unlimited power. The mentor's lofty and expansive life-state can inspire and encourage us to win in our own struggles."
