-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Fresh new victories are initiated 
by taking on fresh new challenges!
With crystal clear goals and strong daimoku
to fulfill our vow for kosen-rufu,
let's set our sights 
on achieving
our own personal ultimate peak
of accomplishment!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"All disciples and lay supporters of Nichiren should chant
Nam-myoho-renge-kyo with the spirit of many in body but one in mind, transcending all differences among themselves to become as inseparable as fish and the water in which they swim. This spiritual bond is the basis for the universal transmission of the ultimate Law of life and death."

(The Heritage of the Ultimate Law of Life 
- The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, 
Vol.1, page 217)

Seikyo Shimbun, August 18, 2015

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"​I have discussed with Kansai members on numerous occasions the significance of the phrase from the 'Life Span' (16th) chapter of the Lotus Sutra, 'where living beings enjoy themselves at ease' (LSOC16, 272). 


"​True ease is a condition in which life is inherently enjoyable, and fulfillment and joy well up from the depths of our being. It is a state of absolute happiness that cannot be destroyed, no matter what circumstances we encounter. The source of this immense life force is chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo for ourselves and others. Those who make daimoku their top priority will never be defeated. They are guaranteed to triumph over every obstacle and truly enjoy all that life brings."
