-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's take every possible opportunity
to develop friendly relations with other people, now!
Now is the season when everyone's life can shine brilliantly.
By earnestly chanting daimoku with all our heart
and paying careful attention to every action we take,
let's lead healthy lives and stay absolutely safe each and every day.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Concerning the 'peaceful' practices of the Lotus Sutra of the Wonderful Law and the practices carried out by Nichiren and his followers now in the Latter Day of the Law, you should understand that , when one practices the Lotus Sutra under such circumstances, difficulties will arise, and these are to be looked on as 'peaceful' pracies."
(Ongi kuden - Gosho Zenshu, page 750, The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings, page 115)
