-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Come, let us set about scaling the loftiest peak of kosen-rufu
with the spirit of many in body and one in mind!
Just as the Gosho teaches us,
let's 'transcend all differences among ourselves
to become as inseparable as fish and the water in which we swim.'*
Let us go all out to create the most remarkable history of victory by striving wholeheartedly - together!
* Gosho, The Heritage of the Ultimate Law of Life - WND-1, pg 217, "All disciples and lay supporters of Nichiren should chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo with the spirit of many in body but one in mind, transcending all differences among themselves to become as
inseparable as fish and the water in which they swim."

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
The old fox never forgets the hillock where he was born; the white turtle repaid the kindness he had received from Mao Pao. If even lowly creatures know enough to do this, then how much more should human beings!"
(On Repaying Debts of Gratitude - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, page 690)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The courage to challenge and triumph over one's limitations is what defines a victor. The door to victory opens only when one gains control over their own tendencies towards weakness, cowardice, laziness, avoidance, and resignation."
SGI Newsletter No. 7992, The New Human Revolution--Vol. 23: Chap. 3, Courage 1, translated May 12th, 2010
