-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Ah, the much awaited month of November is finally here!
The curtains open to a glorious, resplendent drama
of the oneness of mentor and disciple.
With spirits ablaze with passion and resolve
let's together build a grand monument of kosen-rufu!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Today there are people who have faith in the Lotus Sutra. The belief of some is like fire while that of others is like water. When the former listen to the teachings, their passion flares up like fire, but as time goes on, they tend to discard their faith. To have faith like water means to believe continuously without ever regressing."

(The Two Kinds of Faith - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Volume 1, page 899)
Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, October 31st, 2012

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Let's earnestly chant for each member, recalling them in our prayers! That is the key to everyone moving a step forwards.

"If leaders chant and strive with the commitment that they are there to support the members, they will be able to break through their own limitations and elevate their state of life.

"The important thing to remember is that true leadership is only honed and forged by striving among, with, and for the people with all our might, by rolling up our sleeves and really working hard."
