-- TO MY FRIENDS --
It is those trying circumstances
that give us the "chance" to grow and develop.
Let's transform any negative karma we have into our missions!
With strong powerful daimoku,
let's break through even the most impossible of walls!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Nevertheless, even though you chant and believe in Myoho-renge-kyo, if you think the Law is outside yourself, you are embracing not the Mystic Law but an inferior teaching."

(On Attaining Buddhahood in This Lifetime - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Volume 1, page 3)
Selection source: Kyo no Hosshin, Seikyo Shimbun, October 17th, 2012

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"We who believe in and chant the Mystic Law are ourselves the Treasure Tower. If we persevere in faith, we will attain a magnificent state of life endowed with the treasures of the universe.

"There is no retirement age in faith. There is no retiring from our mission. This is the way of life of genuine practitioners of the Daishonin's Buddhism."
