-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Both faith and practice are about exerting ourselves
bravely, vigorously and diligently.
Each and every day let's battle to win with all our might.
Every single step we take is a chance to create a golden history.
With the spirit of "starting anew from now on",
let's show actual proof of overcoming the limitations,
we ourselves have set,
and achieve a great dramatic result!
*"Nichikan ... explains that 'bravely and vigorously' (yumyo) means to courageously bring forth the power of faith in chanting daimoku, while 'exert oneself' (shojin) means to engage sincerely and consistently in the practice of chanting daimoku."
(Ref.: On Attaining Buddha in This Lifetime by Daisaku Ikeda)

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Therefore, one should by all means persist in preaching the Lotus Sutra and causing them to hear it. Those who put their faith in it will surely attain Buddhahood, while those who slander it will establish a 'poison-drum relationship' with it and will likewise attain Buddhahood."
(How Those Initially Aspiring to the Way Can Attain Buddhahood through the Lotus Sutra - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 882)

---- WORDS OF THE WEEK ----
The challenge of kosen-rufu is the great noble task to help
each and every person to reveal their Buddha nature.
With the courage of a lion king,
let's take on all challenges enthusiastically and dynamically.
Having perfect unity with the spirit of
"Many in Body but One in Mind",
let's win outright!
