-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's wholeheartedly encourage and support our dear friends
who are in the midst of job hunting.
What ultimately decides victory or defeat
is the courage to never give up
and the drive to constantly keep at it!

"Hence the character myo means to open. If there is a storehouse full of treasures but no key, then it cannot be opened, and if it cannot be opened, then the treasures inside cannot be seen."
(The Daimoku of the Lotus Sutra - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 145)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"'With the appearance of this teaching [the great Law of Nam-myoho-renge-kyo], all the teachings advocated by the scholars and teachers of Buddhism during the Former and Middle Days of the Law will be like stars after sunrise, or an awkward apprentice beside a skilled craftsman. It is stated that, once this teaching is revealed in this era [of the Latter Day of the Law], the Buddha images as well as the priests of the temples built in the Former and Middle Days will all lose their power to benefit people, and only this great teaching will spread throughout the entire land of Jambudvipa [the entire world]. Since all of you have a bond with this teaching, you should feel reassured.'
- From "Letter to Misawa" (WND-1, 896).
"Nichiren Daishonin's Buddhism is the Buddhism of the sun that will illuminate the entire world into the eternal future. It is a teaching of limitless hope that enables us to surmount the challenges of any time or age.
"We were born with a profound mission and a deep karmic connection to this great Buddhism. Let's walk the path of victory with confidence and joy, together with our fellow members around the world, holding high the banner of the Mystic Law."
