-- TO MY FRIENDS --
There is absolutely nothing more powerful than daimoku!
Every single day,
let's earnestly and wholeheartedly
strive in our practice of chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo!
Nichiren Daishonin assures us: "No prayer will go unanswered."*

*"If you have faith in this Gohonzon and chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo even for a short while, no prayer will go unanswered, no offence unexpiated, no good fortune unbestowed, and all righteousness proven."
(Commentary on "The True Object of Worship" by Nichikan Shonin)

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Kyo'o's misfortune will change into fortune. Muster your faith, and pray to this Gohonzon. Then what is there that cannot be achieved?"
(Reply to Kyo'o - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 748)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"It is important that we stay in rhythm with the Soka Gakkai Headquarters and strive in accord with the guidance of our mentor. When we follow the correct path that is the path of the Soka Gakkai, we are able to polish and train ourselves, and grow into outstanding individuals.

"If you selfishly try to lead the organisation in a direction that is merely convenient for you, both you and the organisation will stray from the correct path of kosen-rufu and end up getting nowhere."
