-- TO MY FRIENDS --
What is most important in order to achieve kosen-rufu
is our serious gongyo and determined daimoku.
It's essential that we respond with lightning speed
and take courageous and persevering action.
Aiming towards the summit of victory,
let's pull out all the stops!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Look at the world this year as a mirror. The reason that you have survived until now when so many have died was so that you would meet with this affair. This is where you will cross the Uji River. This is where you will ford the Seta."

(Reply to Yasaburo - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 829)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"'Just as flowers open up and bear fruit, just as the moon appears and invariably grows full, just as a lamp becomes brighter when oil is added, and just as plants and trees flourish with rain, so will human beings never fail to prosper when they make good causes.'
From "The Third Day of the New Year" (WND-1, 1013).

"Those who make the best possible causes in their lives through working for kosen-rufu will never fail to enjoy immeasurable good fortune and benefit. Such are the workings of the law of cause and effect in life.

"How admirable are the efforts of those who strive tirelessly day after day for the happiness of others and the peace and prosperity of society! They are certain to achieve lives of brilliant victory."
