-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Kosen-rufu is all about the battles
between our Buddha nature and the obstacles we face in life.
By not being inattentive or careless,
let's advance minus any type of accident or incident!
Brimming with absolutely strong life force,
let's be victorious!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"So the battle goes on even today."

(On Practicing the Buddha's Teachings - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 392) Selection source: "SGI President Ikeda's guidance, Seikyo Shimbun, June 30th, 2013

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
" 'With regard to believing in the Lotus Sutra, I [Nichiren] am the foremost sage in Jambudvipa [the entire world]. My name resounds throughout the pure lands of the ten directions, and heaven and earth no doubt know it. If [one declares oneself to be] Nichiren's disciple, I do not think that evil demons of any kind can claim ignorance of my name.'
- From "The Good Medicine for All Ills" (WND-1, 938).

"The Mystic Law is the fundamental law governing life and the universe. The names of all dedicated practitioners of this Law will resound throughout the Buddha lands of the ten directions.

"When we declare ourselves to be disciples of Nichiren Daishonin and champions of Soka, even 'evil demons' will become our allies. Linked by the bonds of mentor and disciple, all of us who are working for kosen-rufu can forever travel the path of eternity, happiness, true self, and purity throughout the three existences—past, present, and future.
Those who have exerted themselves in faith with sincere devotion will definitely win in the end."
