-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Daishonin encourages us to,
"Strengthen our resolve more than ever."*
Now, by chanting daimoku with even stronger conviction than ever,
let's raise our great life force within our hearts.
And subsequently, let's rock the Buddhist gods,
the protective forces of the universe,
into really protecting us!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Employ the strategy of the Lotus Sutra before any other. 'All others who bear you enmity or malice will likewise be wiped out.' These golden words will never prove false."

(The Strategy of the Lotus Sutra - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 1001)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The path of 'establishing the correct teaching for the peace of the land' is a fierce struggle with the devilish nature of authority, filled with arduous efforts and great adversity.

"...As Nichiren Daishonin writes: 'The greater the hardships befalling him, the greater the delight he feels, because of his strong faith' (WND-1, 33). In facing and triumphing over such persecution, we can attain Buddhahood in this existence and carry out our human revolution."
