-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The strength to overcome life's sufferings lies within ourselves.
Chanting daimoku with unshakable conviction is
what enables our own Buddhahood to be revealed.
My dear friends,
live true to yourselves!

"To look on birth and death with repulsion and try to escape from them is termed delusion, or a viewpoint of acquired enlightenment. Seeing and understanding the originally inherent nature of birth and death is termed awakening, or original enlightenment."
(Ongu kuden - Gosho Zenshu, page 754, The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings, page 127)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"This is your moment of truth. It's the time to demonstrate the true value of your faith. Make daimoku your top priority, turn this challenge into a springboard towards the future, and win without fail. This is the kind of faith that can change poison into medicine. Practitioners who uphold the Gohonzon have a profound mission and are certain to succeed."
