-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Kosen rufu is a grand goal that can only be achieved
through everyone's combined efforts!
I am counting on both our experienced and younger members to act in unison!
Carefully listen to each other's opinions and perspectives
and together manifest a fresh dynamic momentum in our activities.

"The stronger one's faith, the greater the protection of the gods." This means that the protection of the gods depends on the strength of one's faith."
(General Stone Tiger - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 953)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"'We ordinary people can see neither our own eyelashes, which are so close, nor the heavens in the distance. Likewise, we do not see that the Buddha exists in our own hearts.'
From "New Year's Gosho" (WND-1, 1137).
"What does it mean to know one's true self?—Nichiren Daishonin's Buddhism offers a clear answer to this enduring question of human existence.
"Even when confronted with painful karma and finding ourselves feeling discouraged, as practitioners of the Daishonin's Buddhism we can get back on our feet with confidence and dignity again and again. This is because we know that the supreme life-state of the Buddha exists within us.
"Everything is decided by our mind and attitude in each moment. Let's wholeheartedly chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo with the conviction that 'I am a Buddha,' and cheerfully and energetically live out our lives true to ourselves."
SGI Newsletter No. 8353, Living the Gosho: (56) The Supreme Life-state of the Buddha Exists within Us, from the Oct. 7th, 2011, issue of the Seikyo Shimbun, translated Oct. 11th, 2011
