— TO MY FRIENDS --
Whenever we make the effort to encourage someone,
our own hearts also begin to overflow with the indomitable power and energy of life!
Come on everyone,
today, too let's joyfully seek to be by the side
of our friends and fellow members!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"At present the entire body of the Honourable Abutsu is composed of
the five elements of earth, water, fire, wind, and space. These five
elements are also the five characters of the daimoku. Abutsu-bo is
therefore the treasure tower itself, and the treasure tower is
Abutsu-bo himself.."

(On the Treasure Tower - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 299)

—— DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Never cause conflict because of your faith. The purpose of our Buddhist practice is to win the trust of all. I, therefore, hope that you will apply yourself harder than anyone else at your job, bringing forth your creativity and wisdom, and show wonderful actual proof in society. By having the spirit to keep growing and improving based on chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, you will be protected by all the Buddhas and heavenly deities—the positive forces of the universe—and receive benefit."
