-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Nichiren Daishonin says:
"Trifling matters accumulate to become grave ones."*
Learning from this spirit, let's steadily work on
accumulating small victories on a daily basis!
The most important condition for winning in life
is to keep on steadily progressing,
making efforts with persistence and focus!
* Gosho: The Bodies and Minds of Ordinary Beings, WND-1, pg 1133,
"Dewdrops accumulate to form a stream, and streams accumulate to form the great ocean. Particles of dust accumulate to form a mountain, and mountains accumulate to form Mount Sumeru. And in the same way, trifling matters accumulate to become grave ones. How much more so in the case of this matter, which is the gravest of all!"

"A blue fly, if it clings to the tail of a thoroughbred horse, can travel ten thousand miles, and the green ivy that twines around the tall pine can grow to a thousand feet."

"Momentum is key to winning in every struggle for kosen-rufu. The inner determination of leaders is the force that increases this momentum.
"First, as leaders, are you striving with a momentum driven by a firm determination to succeed? It's important that you brim with an unwavering resolve to triumph without fail.
"Second, are you advancing with the momentum to refute the erroneous and reveal the true? I hope a passionate spirit of justice and truth will burn brightly in your hearts.
"Third, are you forging ahead with the powerful, lionlike momentum of mentor and disciple? Please advance with the spirit of oneness of mentor and disciple, confidently sharing Nichiren Daishonin's Buddhism with others.
"Fourth, are you progressing with dynamic, unified momentum that will open the way to unceasing victory? Please show people throughout the world the underlying strength of Soka through the unity of 'many in body, one in mind.'"
