-- TO MY FRIENDS --
It's precisely at times when we are busy
that we need to chant daimoku and study the Gosho.
Embodying the principle of "faith manifests itself in daily life"
let's always advance along this path of faith that leads to victory!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Nam-myoho-renge-kyo is like the roar of a lion. What sickness can
therefore be an obstacle?"
(Reply to Kyo'o - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 412)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"In the spirit of 'not begrudging one's life' that we find in the Lotus Sutra,
there is no sense of self-sacrifice. It is possessing a life state in which
we brim with courage and determination, fear no hardship, and in which
just being alive is a sheer joy. This is the path of fulfilling our highest
potential, by breaking free from the shell of our lesser self that is
dominated by egoism and bringing forth our greater self that is in
accord with the supreme teaching of Buddhism. Those who are
prepared for death are strong. In the same way, when we decide
to dedicate our lives to kosen-rufu, we can realise our full potential
and allow our true brilliance to shine forth.
"We are all originally Bodhisattvas of the Earth who were born
to carry out the mission of kosen-rufu. That's why we are able
to bring forth our true capability when we energetically engage
in sharing the Mystic Law with others."
