-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The basis for developing capable people
is for us to undergo our own human revolution.
Let's always, from the bottom of our hearts, have the utmost of respect
for those who are newer to this faith,
and help foster them into becoming even more capable than ourselves.
Let's healthily compete with each other to develop and surpass ourselves!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"When great evil occurs, great good follows."
(Great Evil and Great Good - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page)
Selection source: Teachings of Buddhism, Jan 24th, 2012

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"In The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings, the Daishonin is recorded as saying: 'And now the place where Nichiren and his followers chant Nam-myoho-
renge-kyo, 'whether . . . in mountain valleys or the wide wilderness' [LSOC21, 316], these places are all the Land of Eternally Tranquil Light. This is what is meant by 'the place of practise [for the attainment of Buddhahood]' (OTT, 192).

"Since that's the case, we need to work for kosen-rufu wherever we are, expand a network of trust and friendship, and demonstrate actual proof of happiness and victory. Wherever our life takes us, we should think of ourselves as having been sent there by the Buddha to carry out kosen-rufu."
