-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Kosen rufu always advances
based on the power of the people's voices.
Now, brimming with courage let us use our voices
to talk to people (and share our practice).
Let us boldly speak out, just as it really is,
without coating or decoration!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"More valuable than treasures in a storehouse are the treasures of the body, and the treasures of the heart are the most valuable of all. From the time you read this letter on, strive to accumulate the treasures of the heart!"
(The Three Kinds of Treasure - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 851)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"'Even one seed, when planted, multiplies'.
From 'Cloth for a Robe and an Unlined Robe' (WND-2, 602).
"When we talk about Buddhism with our friends, we are planting and nurturing seeds of happiness in their lives as well as in our own. Let's make every effort to engage in conversation with one person after another.
"These seeds planted through sincere and courageous efforts will produce beautiful flowers and fruit of benefit beyond anything we can imagine, bringing both our own lives and others' to shine brilliantly."
