-- TO MY FRIENDS --
To all of our College Division members,
the standard-bearers of wisdom,
I hope that you take the lead in this new era
by putting fresh new ideas and thoughts into action.
Study this ultimate philosophy as hard as you can,
and spread it far and wide
by spontaneously and unreservedly talking to others about it!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Suffer what there is to suffer, enjoy what there is to enjoy. Regard both suffering and joy as facts of life, and continue chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, no matter what happens. How could this be anything other than the boundless joy of the Law? Strengthen your power of faith more than ever."

(Happiness in This World - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, page 681) Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, November 2nd, 2013

—— DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
The Daishonin writes: "If votaries of the Lotus Sutra . . . practise as the sutra directs, then every one of them without exception will surely attain Buddhahood within his or her present lifetime" (WND-2, 88).

Students of Nichiren Buddhism, be great philosophers who understand the principles for victory in life! Practitioners of the Mystic Law, be unsurpassed experts in the art of happiness!

The Daishonin surely
praises and protects
courageous individuals
who walk the noble path
of practice and study.
