-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Nichiren Daishonin writes that
"(A hundred or even a thousand) people
can definitely attain their goal,
if they are of one mind."*
Strong unity doubles our power and spirits.
Let's unite and advance towards
the grand and lofty goals of
both Kosen-rufu and our own lives.
*"(A hundred or even a thousand) people can definitely attain their goal,
if they are of one mind."*
"Many in Body, One in Mind" - WND-I, page 618

"Those who believe in the Lotus Sutra are as if in winter, but winter always turns to spring."
(Winter Always Turns to Spring
- WND, Vol. I, page 536)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Those who have awakened to the importance of learning and are studying for the sake of the people are poets of learning.
"Those who have awakened to the nobility of peace and are spreading our network of friends are poets of friendship.
"Those who have awakened to the love and support being shown by their parents and are striving to grow and develop are poets of true gratitude as children.
"And those who have awakened to their unlimited inner potential and spend their days challenging themselves are poets of youth.
"By starting each morning with reading the supreme poem of life, you can lead a fulfilling day that is like a poem. Then, you recite that wonderful poem again in the evening and vow to grow even more the next day.
"You are all great poets, composing a poem that is yours and yours alone. You will all become outstanding leaders.
"Therefore, please never feel despair or give up. Always have hope. Hope is the key!"
