— TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's boldly and resolutely challenge
the "walls of limitations" that we ourselves have built!
It's the accumulation of such efforts to do so
that helps us build a splendid personal history
of accomplishing our human-revolution.
Let's advance with courage in our hearts!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"The truth of three thousand realms in a single moment of life too has
its origins in this single word 'belief' or 'faith,' and it is through
this single word 'belief' that the Buddhas of the three existences of
past, present, and future attained their enlightenment. This word
'belief' is a sharp sword that cuts off fundamental darkness or
ignorance."

(Ongi kuden - Gosho Zenshu, page 725, The Record of the Orally
Transmitted Teachings, page 54)

—— DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The willingness to challenge hardships taps the power within human beings
to transform even a place of tragedy into a stage for fulfilling one's mission.
Nichiren encouraged his followers to lead a life in which they squarely confront
their troubles and, through their own example of doing so,
restore hope to those facing similar distress."
