-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The formation of common people who stand shoulder to shoulder,
solidly united for the sake of justice,
is invincible in the face of any opposition!
In Ehime,* the land of peerless faith,
let us raise high the great banner of mentor and disciple!
With single-minded ferocity,
let us chant wholeheartedly, act with courage
and speak out without hesitation!

* Ehime is a prefecture in north-western Shikoku, Japan

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"And yet, though one might point at the earth and miss it, though one might bind up the sky, though the tides might cease to ebb and flow and the sun rise in the west, it could never come about that the prayers of the practitioner of the Lotus Sutra would go unanswered."

(On Prayer - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 345)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"In life and in society, there will inevitably be hurdles or walls of various kinds that obstruct our way forwards. In order to surmount them, we ourselves need to make great strides in our self-development. We need to become strong."
