-- TO MY FRIENDS --
To all of our Women's Division Kojo-kai group members,
thank you so much for your selfless dedication to
guiding and looking after everyone at meetings.
All of your hard work for the sake of kosen-rufu
is good fortune and benefit that will constantly adorn your lives.
We are earnestly praying for your good health
and that you always stay safe and sound.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"What is most important is that, by chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo alone, you can attain Buddhahood. It will no doubt depend on the strength of your faith. To have faith is the basis of Buddhism."

(The Real Aspect of the Gohonzon - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 832)
Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, September 8th, 2012

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"There are many different ways of viewing capable individuals. One is from the perspective of character. Are they serious, sincere, enthusiastic, and persevering? Capable individuals can also be evaluated from the perspective of their abilities. Are they eloquent, dynamic, sensitive, or creative? And there is also the aspect of social standing, educational history, and financial status.

"But no matter what skills people possess or how high their social status, if the foundation of their faith is shaky, they can't become truly capable people for kosen-rufu. Only by firmly establishing kosen-rufu as their basic aim can their character, abilities, and social standing be fully activated as a powerful force for realising the happiness of others."
