-- TO MY FRIENDS --
We must help to establish the type of society where
justice and truth prevails.
We must help to develop the type of era in which
all the people can prosper.
That is what kosen-rufu is all about!
Now is definitely the time for us to open up a new path to
another great history of invincible victory.

With regard to this, Words and Phrase, volume one, says, "'This is what,' etc., are words indicating faith and compliance. Faith means understanding of what one has heard, and compliance means that [one proceeds to follow it as] one follows the path of teacher and disciple."
(Ongi kuden - Gosho Zenshu, page 709, The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings, page 10)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"'One's body and mind at a single moment pervade the entire realm of phenomena' (WND-1, 366)--these are the immortal words of the Great Teacher Miao-lo of China. The inner realm of our life is so vast that it encompasses the entire universe.
"When we chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo with our whole being for the sake of kosen-rufu, we cannot fail to move the heavenly deities--the positive forces of the universe. As Nichiren Daishonin writes in a letter to a female follower: 'If one can move Shakyamuni Buddha, the lord of teachings, can the grass and trees fail to respond, can the waters remain calm?' (WND-2, 811).
"Similarly, when we speak to others based on earnest prayer, our words cannot fail to touch their lives. Let's therefore foster friendships with big, wide-open hearts. Let's courageously share our convictions and ideals with many others, cherishing each encounter. Every effort we make towards that end represents a brilliant opportunity to help others form a connection with Buddhism. Herein lies the path to creating peace. Herein lies the path to happiness and victory."
