-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's transform sorrow into joy.
Let's transform dispair into hope.
That is why we chant!
Let's make up our mind that we will win no matter what
and advance based on daimoku.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"When we revere Myoho-renge- kyo inherent in our own life as the object of devotion, the Buddha nature within us is summoned forth and manifested by our chanting of Nam-myoho-renge-kyo. This is what is meant by 'Buddha.'"

(How Those Initially Aspiring to the Way Can Attain Buddhahood through the Lotus Sutra - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 887)
Selection source: Kyo no Hosshin, Seikyo Shimbun, April 26, 2012

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"In an age where the future is uncertain, wisdom and courageous action will open the way forwards. The supreme wisdom and best course of action come from chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, for nothing surpasses the "strategy of the Lotus Sutra." There is no impasse we cannot break through based on faith in the Mystic Law. Let's challenge all of life's inevitable struggles with a positive spirit, always making our way with joy and vigour."
