-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Gosho says:
"Fortune comes from one's heart and makes one worthy of respect."*
The richness of our lives depends on the depth of our feelings for our friends
and the action we take for their sake.
Let us walk straight along the path of sincerity!
* New Year's Gosho - WND-1, pg 1137, "Misfortune comes from one's mouth and ruins one, but fortune comes from one's heart and makes one worthy of respect."

"In light of this, it is clear that those who now believe in the Lotus Sutra will gather fortune from ten thousand miles away."

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"There are many trials and tribulations in life. In addition, we each have our own karma, and on top of that, when we practise our faith ardently, obstacles are certain to arise. No life is always smooth sailing. But no matter how deep the darkness of despair, faith enables us to keep the flame of hope burning in our hearts.
"Nichiren Daishonin writes: 'Maintain your faith and attain Buddhahood in this lifetime. Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, Nam-myoho-renge-kyo' (WND-1, 4). The Mystic Law enables us to overcome every obstacle, no matter how overwhelmed or deadlocked we may be, and establish a life-state of indestructible happiness.
"The important thing is to have faith in the Gohonzon, earnestly chant daimoku, and strive to share this Buddhism with others. If we do so, we'll be able to open a way forward. We were born into this world as human beings with a mission to become strong and happy."
