The Daishonin assures us,

The power of the Mystic Law is absolute.
By chanting daimoku with the conviction
that we can change everything for the better,
let's advance!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"[Again, when Nichiren and his followers recite Nam-myoho-renge-kyo], they are burning the firewood of earthly desires, summoning up the wisdom fire of bodhi or enlightenment."

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"In these chaotic and uncertain times in which we live, more and more people are seeking the sun of the Mystic Law. Our communities and the world are waiting for our confident voices. They are waiting for gatherings of friendship and trust.

"Fifty-five years ago, in my inaugural speech, I called on our members to embark on a great effort to share Nichiren Buddhism with others joyfully, harmoniously, and intrepidly.

"Returning again to our vow from time without beginning, let's chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo and take courageous action. Let's achieve wonderful new experiences in faith and share them with others."
