-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Daishonin encourages us to:
"Employ the strategy of the Lotus Sutra before any other."*
No matter what happens,
let's always study the Writings of Nichiren Daishonin
and spur ourselves to muster the power of faith!
Let's advance each and every day
by making unceasing efforts to progress.

"Thus you should understand that so long as a practitioner of the Lotus Sutra remains unwavering in faith, free of all false alliances, entrusting himself wholeheartedly to the Lotus Sutra and practising in accordance with the Buddha's golden words, he will without fail be able to prevent disaster and prolong his life in this present existence, to say nothing of in the life to come. Splendid recompense will be his, and he will fulfill his great vow to broadly proclaim and propagate the Lotus Sutra."
(Letter Sent with the Prayer Sutra
- WND, Volume II, page 460)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The life of one individual is limited. But a person's prayers, their vow or commitment, and their efforts for kosen-rufu flow on forever across generations. The good fortune we accumulate through faith and the benefit we gain from sharing Buddhism with others are imperishable. The efforts we make based on our great vow to work for kosen-rufu and the happiness of others become a source of boundless good fortune and benefit for both ourselves and for all those in our environment with whom we share a profound connection."
