-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Everyone is a precious and capable individual.
Each person has an important, leading role in our kosen-rufu movement to play.
If our spirits are united and aligned, our combined abilities become double.
Let's together exuberantly fulfil our unique missions!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"And yet, though one might point at the earth and miss it, though one might bind up the sky, though the tides might cease to ebb and flow and the sun rise in the west, it could never come about that the prayers of the practitioner of the Lotus Sutra would go unanswered."

(On Prayer - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol. 1, page 345)
