-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Every one of our members is a noble and valuable participant
in our movement for kosen-rufu.
Let's be considerate and understanding of those people
who are unable to attend meetings for various different reasons,
remember that it is important to always contact them
and warmly connect with them!
Let's make every possible effort
to brighten up the life of even a single individual.
This is the heart and spirit of Buddhism.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"You must simply make up your mind. Look at the world this year as a
mirror. The reason that you have survived until now when so many have
died was so that you would meet with this affair. ... This will
determine whether you win honour or disgrace your name."

(Reply to Yasaburo - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 829)
