-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Squarely facing and overcoming
the harsh snowstorms of winter and life
are our most precious and remarkable friends from the Tohoku region.*
Together, let's open up a brand new road full of hope!

* Tohoku, located in the north-eastern part of Japan, took the brunt of the Great East Japan disaster of March 11th, 2011

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Never seek this Gohonzon outside yourself. The Gohonzon exists only within the mortal flesh of us ordinary people who embrace the Lotus Sutra and chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo."
(The Real Aspect of the Gohonzon - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 832)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Trust is built on promises kept. The most important thing in gaining the trust of others is to keep our promises. By keeping our promises, even if those to whom we've made them have forgotten, we come to establish our own path, creed, and character."
