-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's do our utmost to inspire those facing hard times to have courage.
When one person stands up and does so
two, then three and more will certainly follow.
Kosen rufu is about constant on-going encouragement

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"And could not this illness of your husband's be the Buddha's design,
because the Vimalakirti and Nirvana sutras both teach that sick people
will surely attain Buddhahood? Illness gives rise to the resolve to
attain the way."

(The Good Medicine for All Ills - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, page 937)
Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, October 10th, 2013

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"A leader is another name for one who strives with courage. A dynamic spiritual current flows through such individuals, making them shine. Their powerful commitment draws others to them like a magnet, and inspires those people to stand up and take action. They are able to unite people's hearts.

"It's not about strategies or methods. When you strive in faith, earnestly determined to take full responsibility, boundless wisdom will well up from within you."
