-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Success in our endeavours for kosen-rufu
is determined by the strength of our momentum.
Those who unceasingly take on any and every challenge,
are the people who will most certainly win.
"Today is the decisive day!"
with such determination,
let's all advance with unstoppable momentum.

"If you wish to free yourself from the sufferings of birth and death you have endured since time without beginning and to attain, without fail, unsurpassed enlightenment in this lifetime, you must perceive the mystic truth that is originally inherent in all living beings. This truth is Myoho-renge-kyo."
(On Attaining Buddhahood in This Lifetime - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 3)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Corrupt national authorities often despise and try to oppress people striving on the side of good. We mustn't let this happen. Genuine humanism and genuine victory lie in the solidarity of the people, in individuals who have acquired true learning. This is the kind of society we need to create."
