-- TO MY FRIENDS --
With the attitude of 'now more than ever before'
let's make a deep resolve and set our goals high,
aiming straight for the very pinnacle of victory!
In this truly important year,
let us forge an even greater, iron-like unity amongst ourselves!

"Worthy persons deserve to be called so because they are not carried away by the eight winds: prosperity, decline, disgrace, honour, praise, censure, suffering, and pleasure."
(The Eight Winds - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 794)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"We are living out our lives directly connected to Nichiren Daishonin and his teachings. The resulting benefits are immeasurable and boundless, and we will definitely be safeguarded by the protective functions of the universe. The Daishonin assures us of this in his writings. If we practice our faith assiduously, we are certain to enjoy happy, exhilarating, and victorious lives and establish within ourselves the life-state of Buddhahood. Let's do our best!"
