— TO MY FRIENDS --
The Daishonin encourages us,
"The more one praises the blessings of the Lotus Sutra,
the more one's own blessings will increase."
Let's share the greatness of this practice with others,
boldly and with confidence!
Then our lives will definitely be adorned with
great good fortune and benefit.

"The lion king is said to advance three steps, then gather himself to spring, unleashing the same power whether he traps a tiny ant or attacks a fierce animal."
(Reply to Kyō'ō - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol. 1, page 412)

—— DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ——
"In any endeavour, once the general plan is decided, it is crucial to consider concretely who will do what, when, and where.
"Particularly in carrying out Gakkai activities, if things are left vague it can lead to plans falling through. Plans are successfully realised when each matter is dealt with carefully and thoroughly, and each small step is properly completed."
