-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The brilliance of wise, intelligent women
brightens up the future of our kosen-rufu movement.
My dear friends of the Women's and Young Women's Division,
it is my fervent wish that today, too,
based on keeping our safety and well being as our top priority,
that we be able to walk along the path of our respective missions.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Nam-myoho-renge-kyo is like the roar of a lion. What sickness can
therefore be an obstacle?"

(Reply to Kyo'o - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 412)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Nichiren Buddhism exists so that each of us can achieve spiritual victory.

"Encouraging his followers to uphold unwavering faith, Nichiren Daishonin writes: 'You should not have the slightest fear in your heart' (WND-1, 637).

"Faith in the Mystic Law is the source of strength to courageously act for the sake of the happiness of ourselves and others.

"Don't hesitate to talk to others about the Daishonin's Buddhism. No matter how the other person may respond, speak from your heart about the greatness of Nichiren Buddhism and the wonderful benefits of this practice. Just confidently share your conviction and experiences in faith. By doing so, you are sowing the seeds of hope and happiness in that person's life. And if you continue chanting daimoku, those seeds will sprout and eventually flower. Nothing is more powerful than prayer to the Gohonzon."
