-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The main contributing factors
for the successful development of the kosen-rufu movement are:
sincerity, an unwavering spirit, wisdom and perseverance.
It is by our constant painstaking efforts to develop these areas in our lives
that our lives truly do blossom
with the magnificent blooms of victory and success!

"Arouse deep faith, and diligently polish your mirror day and night. How should you polish it? Only by chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo."
(On Attaining Buddhahood in This Lifetime - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 4)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"'Could not this illness of your husband's be the Buddha's design, because the Vimalakirti and Nirvana sutras both teach that sick people will surely attain Buddhahood? Illness gives rise to the resolve to attain the way.'
From 'The Good Medicine for All Ills' (WND-1, 937).
"Illness does not equal unhappiness. Illness itself can provide us with an opportunity to develop a more profound state of life and to fundamentally transform our karma. This is the way of faith for attaining Buddhahood in this lifetime. Therefore, though we may experience ill-health, it's important that we stay strong and resolute in spirit.
"The Daishonin affirms that 'sick people will surely attain Buddhahood.' We can definitely transform poison into medicine. With the lion's roar of Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, we can triumph over all illness.
"I am wholeheartedly chanting for the well-being and long lives of all of our members."
