-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's always remember to sincerely thank those
who offer their homes as meeting places.
Their dedicated and noble efforts to support the cause of kosen-rufu
sets the pace for our victories throughout the entire year!
Let's get this year off to a really joyful start with our discussion meetings.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"I entrust you with the propagation of Buddhism in your province. It is stated that 'the seeds of Buddhahood sprout as a result of conditions, and for this reason they preach the single vehicle.'"

(The Properties of Rice - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, page 1117)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Though you may have defeats and failures, you mustn't allow them to make you downcast and pessimistic. The only real defeat is when you give up and devalue yourself. Those who are patient and persistent win out in the end. Never forget that chanting and our Buddhist practice allow us to develop that tenacity."
