Kosen-rufu is a struggle

— TO MY FRIENDS --
Kosen-rufu is a struggle
waged by using our voices.
It's by using our voices that we
voice what we believe is the truth.
And it's that same voice that is used to
encourage others.
Voicing what is in our hearts and on our minds
let's sincerely and cheerfully talk with others.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
In the Latter Day of the Law, no treasure tower exists other than the figures of the men and women who embrace the Lotus Sutra. It follows, therefore, that whether eminent or humble, high or low, those who chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo are themselves the treasure tower, and, likewise, are themselves the Thus Come One Many Treasures.
- From "On the Treasure Tower" (WND-1, 299).
