-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Daishonin encourages us,
"My wish is that all my disiples make a great vow."*
It is by making a great determination
that great joy is born.
Let's therefore make this the year in which
we achieve great progress in our human revolution!

*"The Dragon Gate" - WND-I, page 100

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"If you say, 'They are excellent, excellent lands,' your lord may add to your fiefs again. But if you say things like, 'The lands are poor, or 'There are no profits,' you could very well be forsaken by both heaven and other people."

(The Receipt of New Fiefs - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol. 1, page 945)
Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, January 4th, 2013

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Our chanting brims with deep commitment. We pledge and take action to achieve fresh victories and growth in order to realise the great vow for kosen-rufu. This is the pride and honour of the Bodhisattvas of the Earth."
