-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The key to us being victorious in life
lies in the single word "courage."
Let's advance proudly with our heads held high!
Let's make the memory of our present lives remain
as the only memory of our present life in this human world.*

*"Single-mindedly chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo and urge others to do the same; that will remain as the only memory of your present life in this human world." - "Questions and Answers about Embracing the Lotus Sutra", WND-I, page 64

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Employ the strategy of the Lotus Sutra before any other. 'All others who bear you enmity or malice will likewise be wiped out.' These golden words will never prove false."

(The Strategy of the Lotus Sutra - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, page 1001)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Why do slander and jealousy arise between fellow members, or sometimes even between leaders, who are all upholding the Mystic Law?

"The Daishonin writes: 'The fourteen slanders described in the "Simile and Parable" chapter represent the embodiment of a lack of faith' (WND-2, 24). The fundamental cause of slander lies in members not being able to believe that we are all Bodhisattvas of the Earth and emissaries of the Buddha, and disbelief in the Mystic Law and the Buddhist teaching of causality governing life."
