-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Those who live their lives by
constantly striving to realise their ideals
always stay youthful.
With faith like a clear-flowing stream,
let's challenge ourselves, today, too
to achieve something new!
Let's write another glorious page
always stay youthful.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"It is rare to be born a human being. The number of those endowed with human life is as small as the amount of earth one can place on a fingernail. Life as a human being is hard to sustain—as hard as it is for the dew to remain on the grass. But it is better to live a single day with honor than to live to 120 and die in disgrace."

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Of course, you will have problems, make mistakes, and have regrets. But what matters is not allowing them to defeat you. Just keep pressing forwards, ever forwards, pushing through all problems and suffering.

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Of course, you will have problems, make mistakes, and have regrets. But what matters is not allowing them to defeat you. Just keep pressing forwards, ever forwards, pushing through all problems and suffering.
"Suppose you are lost in the jungle. You want to find your way out and reach the ocean but don't know which way to go. What will you do? The answer is, keep moving ahead along any course until you come to a river. Then, if you follow the river downstream, you will eventually reach the ocean.
"Move forwards. As you struggle, chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo and keep pressing ahead, even if only a millimetre, two millimetres. If you keep that up all your life, when you finally look back, you'll see you've made your way out of the jungle.
"The more you suffer, the more sadness you experience, and the more daimoku you chant, the more profound a life you will lead. All will serve to nourish your growth into leaders of the 21st century."

"The more you suffer, the more sadness you experience, and the more daimoku you chant, the more profound a life you will lead. All will serve to nourish your growth into leaders of the 21st century."
