-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Nichiren Daishonin states:
"You must not only persevere yourself; you must also teach others."*
Let us deeply study this Buddhist philosophy and share it with others.
If we strive to make such sincere efforts
we are certain to establish an important
and precious turning point in our faith.

*Gosho - The True Aspect of All Phenomena - WND1, page 386, "You must
not only persevere yourself; you must also teach others. Both practice
and study arise from faith. Teach others to the best of your ability,
even if it is only a single sentence or phrase."

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Now, no matter what, strive in faith and be known as a votary of the
Lotus Sutra, and remain my disciple for the rest of your life. If you
are of the same mind as Nichiren, you must be a Bodhisattva of the Earth."

(The True Aspect of All Phenomena
- The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 385)
