-- TO MY FRIENDS --
To meet people and talk face to face with them --
this is what our movement for kosen-rufu is about!
With vibrant voices and vibrant life force
let's get off to a great start (this year) in our efforts
towards peace and friendship.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"I am praying that, no matter how troubled the times may become, the Lotus Sutra and the ten demon daughters will protect all of you, praying as earnestly as though to produce fire from damp wood, or to obtain water from parched ground."
(On Rebuking Slander of the Law and Eradicating Sins - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 444)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Promoting kosen-rufu isn't merely about spreading Buddhist ideas and terminology. It means each of us rising to action across the world and courageously striving to transform our karma based on the Daishonin's teaching. It is awakening to our noble mission as a Bodhisattva of the Earth and creating understanding, trust, and joy around us. This is the only way kosen-rufu will be realised.
