-- TO MY FRIENDS --
"The situation is like the joints in a piece of bamboo:
if one joint is ruptured, then all the joints will split."*
That one single courageous breakthrough acts like a catalyst
that leads all to achieving monumental victories.
Youth, we are counting on you to take that lead and show us the way!

* Gosho - Letter to Horen, WND 1, page 512, "The situation is like
the joints in a piece of bamboo: if one joint is ruptured, then all
the joints will split."

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"If I remain silent, I may escape persecutions in this lifetime, but
in my next life I will most certainly fall into the hell of incessant
suffering. If I speak out, I am fully aware that I will have to
contend with the three obstacles and four devils. But of these two
courses, surely the latter is the one to choose."

(The Opening of the Eyes - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol. 1,
page 239)

"Believing in the absolute power of the Mystic Law, let's proudly dedicate our lives to the noble cause of kosen-rufu. Let us always, no matter what happens, continue to boldly walk the path of creating a peaceful world based on the humanistic ideals on Nichiren Buddhism—following our unshakable conviction that human revolution is the starting point for social transformation."
