-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Being able to win over oneself,
is the most essential criteria
for being victorious in any endeavour.
Let's live out "now", this very moment,
and "today", this very day, to the fullest
with no regrets!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Suffer what there is to suffer, enjoy what there is to enjoy. Regard both suffering and joy as facts of life, and continue chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, no matter what happens. How could this be anything other than the boundless joy of the Law? Strengthen your power of faith more than ever."
(Happiness in This World -
The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 681)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Speak out courageously and without hesitation for your beliefs! …You don't have to worry about being eloquent. The truth itself is powerful.
"In The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings, the Daishonin states: 'The first shi of the word shishi, or 'lion' [which means 'teacher'], is the Wonderful Law that is passed on by the teacher. The second shi [which means 'child'] is the Wonderful Law as it is received by the disciples. The 'roar' [of the term 'lion's roar' (shishi ku)] is the sound of the teacher and the disciples chanting in unison" (OTT, 111).
"The essence of the lion's roar is the mentor and disciple speaking out for truth, united in spirit, to advance kosen-rufu. The first three Soka Gakkai presidents, sharing the bonds of mentor and disciple, all triumphed because they spoke out fearlessly in this way.
"…Speak out with courage and raise high the banner of victory and honour!"
