-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's always make an effort to improve ourselves,
growing each day a little more!
With a vibrant, youthful spirit to 'take one step forwards',
let's boldly thrust ourselves into the midst of dialogue,
(energetically talking to people about our philosophy)!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"I am praying that, no matter how troubled the times may become, the Lotus Sutra and the ten demon daughters will protect all of you, praying as earnestly as though to produce fire from damp wood, or to obtain water from parched ground."
(On Rebuking Slander of the Law and Eradicating Sins - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 444)
Selection source: "Koe no ran", Seikyo Shimbun, April 29th, 2010

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"People whose hearts are illuminated by the light of courage are able to defeat the darkness of suffering. The deeper the darkness, the brighter the sunrise. As the pioneer of women's rights in Indonesia Raden Adjeng Kartini (1874-1904) wrote: 'The dawn is born out of the night.'"
