-- TO MY FRIENDS --
To those of my dear friends
who are fighting against sickness right now,
never ever give up!
Chant daimoku with great unwavering conviction
and be victorious!
"Nam-myoho-renge-kyo is like the roar of a lion."*

*"Believe in this mandala with all your heart. Nam-myoho-renge-kyo is like the roar of a lion. What sickness can therefore be an obstacle?" - "Reply to Kyo'o", WND-I, page 412

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"The first shi of the word shishi, or 'lion' [which means 'teacher'], is the Wonderful Law that is passed on by the teacher. The second shi [which means 'child'] is the Wonderful Law as it is received by the disciples. The 'roar' is the sound of the teacher and the disciples chanting in unison."

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"In order to really experience the power of the Gohonzon, it is important for you to make your prayers specific. You might also try setting yourself a personal daimoku target each day. Your prayers to the Gohonzon will definitely be answered. When they are, you feel real joy and conviction, which in turn will further strengthen your faith. Even if your prayers aren't answered immediately, please be assured that you are accumulating inconspicuous benefit, and that, with the passage of time, you will attain a life-state of complete fulfillment and satisfaction."
