-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The flower of happiness blooms
from an earth of patience and perseverance.
"Watch me. I will definitely show actual proof!"
Burning with such an indomitable burning spirit,
let's move forwards, no matter what happens!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"But my life from the beginning has been based upon firm conviction. I
have no intention now to reversing my course, nor will I ever reproach
[those who persecuted me]. Evil persons too will be good friends to
me."
(Why No Protection from the Heavenly Gods? - The Writings of Nichiren
Daishonin, Vol 2, page 432) Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo

—— DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ——
"Let us engrave these words of the Daishonin in our hearts: "Strengthen
your faith day by day and month after month. Should you slacken in your
resolve even a bit, devils will take advantage" (WND-1, 997). With such
unflagging determination, let us joyfully begin our hope-filled ascent
of a new summit of our ever-growing movement of worldwide kosen-rufu."
