--- TO MY FRIENDS ---
Speed is the crucial element
for the expansion of kosen-rufu.
Lets be sure to let people know
Lets be sure to let people know
what is going on
and
report what has taken place
both with lightening speed.
Let's forge ahead
both with lightening speed.
Let's forge ahead
with a single minded focus
determined to achieve what it is
determined to achieve what it is
we have set out to do,
no matter what!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"This Buddha expounded the medicine of immortality. This is the five characters of Myoho-renge-kyo we have today. Moreover, he specifically taught that these five characters are "good medicine for the ills of the people of Jambudvīpa."
(The Good Medicine for All Ills,
WND, Vol. 1, pg. 937)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"'If you care anything about your personal security, you should first of all pray for order and tranquillity throughout the four quarters of the land, should you not?' (WND-1, 24). If we desire personal happiness, Nichiren Daishonin is saying, we must first pray for the security and prosperity of society and for world peace.

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"'If you care anything about your personal security, you should first of all pray for order and tranquillity throughout the four quarters of the land, should you not?' (WND-1, 24). If we desire personal happiness, Nichiren Daishonin is saying, we must first pray for the security and prosperity of society and for world peace.
"As long as war and natural disasters afflict the land, people cannot attain personal happiness. It is not just a matter of striving for one's own happiness. True happiness can only be attained by praying for a peaceful and prosperous society for all and working to make it a reality.
"In addition, by living this way, we can break free from the small shell of our lesser selves and achieve truly worthwhile and fulfilling lives."
