-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Both in our own personal lives as well as in our activities for kosen-rufu
everything is determined by the strength and tenacity of our decision.
When we make the heartfelt determination that
"I will definitely win, no matter what!"
then any wall that seemingly limits us can be shattered!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"My wish is that my disciples will be cubs of the lion king, never to
be laughed at by the pack of foxes."

(In the Continent of Jambudvipa - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin,
Vol.2, page 1062)

—— DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Given the numerous natural disasters and unseasonable weather events that have been happening in recent times, I believe there is a greater need than ever for an unwavering belief in the power of hope, as well as a solid network of individuals who have unshakable courage.

"…To refuse to be defeated, bravely facing even the most terrible disaster; to come to terms with personal sorrowful karma through deep faith, triumph over it without fear or confusion, and then use that experience to encourage and help others who are suffering, thereby transforming everything into a joyous drama of mission—this is the magnificent proof of faith revealed in the experiences of our admirable Tohoku members, as well as our members throughout Japan and around the world."
