* Today is a national Japanese press holiday to give all those involved in producing a newspaper a short rest. "To My Friends" is therefore not available today and "Words of the Week" we sent out yesterday. We continue you on though with Daily Gosho and Daily Encouragement until tomorrow when we will be back up to full steam! All the best …

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Great things can only be accomplished through continuous effort. Truly great undertakings are only achieved when there are future generations of successors to carry on that work.
"Shin'ichi Yamamoto continued with his thoughts in the article: 'The important thing now, given that kosen-rufu is an unremitting, ongoing revolution, is how we pass the torch on to the next generation. The completion of one phase is the start of another. Each milestone must lead to the creation of a new, even more magnificent page in our history.
"'Day after day, month after month, I have pondered long and hard over how best to develop our movement so that we can open a great path to the 21st century; secure peace and happiness for each of you, our members: and ensure that your children carry on the correct teaching of Nichiren Buddhism and your families flourish eternally. This has been my responsibility as I grappled with and sought to respond to the challenges of the times.

This has been my responsibility as I grappled with and sought to respond to the challenges of the times.
"'And now our movement for the substantive realisation of kosen-rufu has grown from a small stream into a mighty river, and that river is flowing powerfully into the vast ocean.'
"Shin'ichi then wrote that he keenly felt the need to stabilise and perpetuate the flow of that mighty river. He concluded by calling for members to engrave deep in their hearts the Daishonin's assurance that kosen-rufu would be achieved 'as surely as an arrow aimed at the earth cannot miss the target' (WND-1, 385), and to renew their vow to continue exerting themselves in faith, practice, and study, the basics of Nichiren Buddhism."
