-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Having the opportunity to read
is one of life's greatest treasures.
Even if it is just for a short time,
let's daily acquaint ourselves 
with some good reading material.
A person who continues 
to make an effort to learn
is able to develop more 
and lives a truly meaningful 
and fulfilling life.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"But your faith alone will determine all these things. A sword is useless in the hands of a coward. The mighty sword of the Lotus Sutra must be wielded by one courageous in faith. Then one will be as strong 
as a demon armed with an iron staff."
(Reply to Kyō'ō 
- WND, Vol 1, page 412)
Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin",

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Nichiren Daishonin writes: 'Those who become Nichiren's disciples and lay believers should realise the profound karmic relationship they share with him and spread the Lotus Sutra as he does.' (WND-1, 994).
"The activities we are carrying out for kosen-rufu are in exact accord with the Daishonin's teachings. We are committed to fulfilling our mission, which is one with that of the Daishonin, the Buddha of the Latter Day of the Law. When we awaken to the profound karmic bond we share with the Daishonin, limitless courage and strength well forth from within us."
