-- TO MY FRIENDS --
We are now at a most important juncture,
looking ahead to the dawn of a new age
that will lay the foundations of kosen-rufu for eternity!
Determined to strengthen our faith, more than ever*
let us courageously win over every single challenge ahead of us!
* Gosho, The Supremacy of the Law, WND-1, page 614, "I say this for your sake. I know your faith has always been admirable, but now you must strengthen it more than ever. Only then will the ten demon daughters lend you even greater protection. You need not seek far for an example. Everyone in Japan, from the sovereign on down to the common people, without exception has tried to do me harm, but I have survived until this day. You should realise that this is because, although I am alone, I have firm faith."

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
Believe in this mandala with all your heart. Nam-myoho-renge-kyo is like the roar of a lion. What sickness can therefore be an obstacle?

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Sincerely encouraging another person can positively impact the future. In places where we see people growing and developing, the reason invariably lies in an atmosphere of warm encouragement. Encouragement is the driving force for raising capable people and spurring dynamic growth."
