-- TO MY FRIENDS --
When we share this Buddhism with others,
joy, quite naturally, overflows from within.
Our real challenge though is what we do from now.
Those who continue to progress, who always want to advance
will definitely enjoy the absolute of happiness.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Stones are split open for their hidden gems, deer are slain for their hides and meat, fish are caught for their flavour, the kingfisher is killed for its gorgeous feathers, and a beautiful woman is envied for her beauty. This is the case with me. Because I am the votary of the Lotus Sutra, I have suffered all manner of persecution at the hands of the three powerful enemies."
(The Swords of Good and Evil - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 451)
