-- TO MY FRIENDS --
What we continually aim for is
peace throughout the world and the happiness of all people.
Cherishing this lofty ideal in our hearts,
through our faith, let's advance in perfect unity.
Together, let's raise the cry for the triumph of humanism!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"I am praying that, no matter how troubled the times may become, the Lotus Sutra and the ten demon daughters will protect all of you, praying as earnestly as though to produce fire from damp wood, or to obtain water from parched ground."

(On Rebuking Slander of the Law and Eradicating Sins- The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol. 1, page 444) Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, July 21st, 2013

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"President Toda said to us youth: 'If you would be my disciples, you mustn't allow yourselves to be defeated by any false or erroneous arguments. You need to demolish them and show them for the falsehoods they are!' It is the pride and honour of my youth that I unswervingly followed this course outlined by Mr. Toda.

"​The Latter Day of the Law is an age of quarrels and disputes. It is a time when words are wildly distorted and truth and falsehood are turned on their heads. If the forces dedicated to good lose vitality and strength, the people will suffer and society will fall into disarray.
​
"Young people need to acquire the ability to tell the difference between truth and falsehood. They need to respond vigorously to malicious slanders and defamations that are aimed at discrediting those who champion good and at undermining their unity. Youth mustn't be timid or fainthearted.
​
"With youth in the lead, let's engage in honest dialogue and forge ties of trustwith as many people as possible."
