-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's all give as much support and encouragement
as we can
to all the young people who are challenging
to introduce this Buddhism to others!
The future direction of kosen-rufu
The future direction of kosen-rufu
depends completely on how well we foster
capable leaders.
Our young people are indeed

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The seventh troop is doubt and regret. This is seen in someone who, despite having the good fortune to practise Nichiren Buddhism, begins to doubt the Gohonzon and the Soka Gakkai, and, when difficulties arise, regrets starting to practise in the first place. The way to break through such a negative mind-set is to have firm resolve. That will give rise to joy and wonderful benefits.

"The eighth of the devil king's ten troops is anger. An example of this is being resentful towards a leader who encourages you to make more active efforts in sharing Buddhism with others. Or becoming angry at a leader who, out of concern for you, points out an error in your faith based on the Gosho. These are some examples of the workings of anger."
