Friday, June 25th, 2010
-- TO MY FRIENDS --
To carry out, no matter what,
our self-appointed vow
--that is what faith and practice is all about!
This is the very essence of 'Oneness of Mentor and Disciple'.
May all of my dearest friends and comrades,
who are determinedly exerting themselves
to achieve kosen-rufu together with me,
shine brightly and gloriously.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"A woman who embraces the lion king of the Lotus Sutra never fears any of the beasts of hell or of the realms of hungry spirits and animals."

(The Drum at the Gate of Thunder - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 949)
Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, June 25th, 2010

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"I hope that above all you'll live with joy, happiness, and fortitude. No matter how well you do in academics, if you constantly get into conflicts with others, causing others trouble and hurting yourself and your parents, then that isn't wise. Those who can get along harmoniously with family members and friends, and walk the path of personal growth and development with a happy, positive spirit together with others, are the true victors in life."
