-- TO MY FRIENDS --
"I am definitely going to win!"
"I'll certainly find a way forwards!"
It's when we have this sort of deep, inner resolve
that things start to happen and a new history of victory unfolds.
Let's always advance with daimoku
as the starting point of our actions.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"It must be ties of karma from the distant past that have destined you to become my disciple at a time like this. Shakyamuni and Many Treasures certainly realised this truth. The sutra's statement, 'Those persons who had heard the Law dwelled here and there in various Buddha lands, constantly reborn in company with their teachers,'cannot be false in any way."
(The Heritage of the Ultimate Law of Life - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 217)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"'Believe in the Gohonzon, the supreme object of devotion in all of Jambudvipa [the entire world]. Be sure to strengthen your faith, and receive the protection of Shakyamuni, Many Treasures, and the Buddhas of the ten directions.'
From 'The True Aspect of All Phenomena' (WND-1, 386).
"Second Soka Gakkai President Josei Toda used to say quite matter-of-factly: 'We deliberately chose to be born poor and sick so that we could spread the Mystic Law [through demonstrating the transformative power of faith to others.]'
"Our current circumstances are like a role that we have taken on in this lifetime in order to fulfil our mission in accord with our eternal vow to lead others to happiness. Since we have embraced faith in the Gohonzon, the supreme object of devotion in the entire world, there is no adverse situation we cannot overcome. Let's activate the protective functions of the universe[by powerfully chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo] and win without fail."
