-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Daishonin encourages us:
"Suffer what there is to suffer, enjoy what there is to enjoy."*
Life is an unceasing series of challenges.
Let's walk with wholehearted commitment along the path to kosen-rufu,
unwavering and unflinching!

* Gosho, Happiness in This World - WND-1 pg 681, "Suffer what there is to suffer, enjoy what there is to enjoy. Regard both suffering and joy as facts of life, and continue chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo no matter what happens."

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The only way to battle devilish functions is to rouse one's faith in the Mystic Law to overcome one's ignorance and illusion.

"...Developing the kind of faith that allows one to overcome hardships and obstacles begins with adopting a determined attitude and making a firm decision."
