* Just to point again if you missed it but...at the moment the TMF team is travelling about the world, although we are trying our best to keep things going during the summer holidays, but due to time differences you may receive messages later or possibly earlier! Our apologies for this but we will be back to speed at the end of August.

-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Our Youth Division members are
diligently emersing themselves in Buddhist study this summer!
The study of the Writings of Nichiren Daishonin (Gosho)
is like the treasured sword of courage.
It is the powerhouse for all our future victories.
No matter what, let's consciously put our best efforts into study!

"In view of the accuracy of his prediction, can there be any doubt that, after this period described in the Great Collection Sutra when 'the pure Law will become obscured and lost,' the great pure Law of the Lotus Sutra will be spread far and wide throughout Japan and all the other countries of Jambudvipa?"
(The Selection of the Time - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 550)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"We are advancing for the sake of everyone's happiness and to realise peace.
"Buddhism is win or lose. Life is a continuous struggle. Let's dedicate ourselves to kosen-rufu as long as we live. When we resolve to take action and win for the sake of that cause, it energises us. It can also boost our health.
"We must continue moving forward. Let us follow through on our convictions throughout our lives.
"As the Buddhist principle 'substituting faith for wisdom' indicates, faith can function as a source of supreme wisdom. We can limitlessly create value and open the way forward. We will never find ourselves in a deadlock. Faith in the Mystic Law enables us to draw forth infinite wisdom.
