-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Our faith and practice manifests itself
in our daily lives as victory and success
through the driving force of our chanting.
In our local community, society or wherever we might be,
let's always try to shine as good examples.

"Bring forth the great power of faith, and be spoken of by all the
people of Kamakura, both high and low, or by all the people of Japan, as
'Shijo Kingo, Shijo Kingo of the Lotus school!'"

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Faith is the courage to never give up. It means never giving up
on the potential of your own life and that of others. It means never
giving up on expanding happiness. It means never giving up on the
victory of our cause. It means never giving up on creating peace. Faith,
above all, is the courage to never ever give up on widely propagating
the Mystic Law.
"You are my direct disciples who will be 'bluer than the indigo'—your
achievements certain to surpass my own. You are the ones who will follow
in my footsteps to lead long, long lives of great mission that will
require unwavering commitment.
"The Daishonin's spirit of 'What greater joy could there be?'
expresses the very essence of faith. May your lives always powerfully
resound with this same positive conviction. Please fearlessly and calmly
discern the true nature of all obstacles with deep faith, and then
confidently, wisely, and cheerfully overcome them. I hope you will also
reach out to others near and far, and share with them the path of human
revolution, which is a source of unsurpassed hope, fulfillment, and
joy."
