-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Ah Miyagi* that brings to mind the vigour of fresh, glistening leaves.
The place where a whole castle of capable people
overflowing with the mentor-disciple spirit are.
Send out waves of daimoku for our complete and absolute victory!
With the unwavering tenacity of a roaring lion,
now is the time for us all to stand up and fulfil our pledge for kosen-rufu!
* Miyagi Prefecture is located in the northern part of Japan. It is famous for Aoba Castle (the jpn.word "Aoba" literally translates as "Fresh Leaves")

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"(Now when Nichiren and his followers perform ceremonies for the deceased, reciting the Lotus Sutra and) chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, the ray of light from the daimoku reaches all the way to the hell of incessant suffering and makes it possible for them to attain Buddhahood then and there."
(Ongi Kuden - Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings, page 17)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"When we awaken to the equal and impartial Law of Nam- myoho-renge-kyo, we come to feel a deep connection to others, and as more people share this kind of kinship, it will bring humanity closer together. We also gain the strength to triumph over the tumultuous times of the Latter Day and create peace and happiness. The key is for each of us to manifest in our lives the power of Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, the fundamental Law of enlightenment. This is the purpose of our efforts for kosen-rufu. Further, through our continuous efforts to spread the correct teaching, we can overcome the crisis of the decline of the Law--a situation in which 'quarrels and disputes prevail, and the pure Law is obscured and lost' (WND-1, 391)."
