-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The determined daimoku we chant,
for the sake of the happiness of our friends,
is certain to have a positive effect on their lives.
Let's muster up our courage
and share this great hope-filled philosophy with them,
confidently and without hesitation!

--- 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)
