-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's live out our lives like a great performing drama!
Even in the midst of hardship,
let's try our very best to stay cheerful
and live our lives true to ourselves.
Those who continue to honour the vow they made in their youth,
to the last moment of their lives,
are genuine champions.

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"As Nichiren Daishonin writes: 'Wherever we dwell and practise the single vehicle [the Lotus Sutra], that place will be the Capital of Eternally Tranquil Light' (WND-1, 313). In other words, wherever we go, that place is where we should build our supreme happiness and make it our stage of kosen-rufu and mission."
