-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Our goal is the establishment 
of everlasting world peace.
Let's start from right where we stand
and inspire surging waves of change 
in the lives of individuals,
each of which helps people to build
the corner stones that support 
and enables this noble goal.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Question: Is it possible, without understanding the meaning of the Lotus Sutra, but merely by chanting the five or seven characters of Nam-myoho-renge-kyo once a day, once a month, or simply once a year, once a decade, or once in a lifetime, to avoid being drawn into trivial or serious acts of evil, to escape falling into the four evil paths, and instead to eventually reach the stage of non-regression?

Answer: Yes, it is."

Gosho: "The Daimoku of the Lotus Sutra", 
WND-I, page 141
Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin",
