-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The times are fervently and wholeheartedly
seeking the teachings of Buddhism.
Our spirit and attitude of striving sincerely
in our faith and practice
is what helps people to understand
our movement and what we are trying to do.
Let's build and expand our network of good!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Everywhere other than the Capital of Tranquil Light is a realm of suffering. Once you leave the haven of inherent enlightenment, what is there to bring you joy? I pray that you will embrace the Mystic Law, which guarantees that people 'will enjoy peace and security in their present existence and good circumstances in future existences." This is the only glory that you need seek in your present lifetime, and is the action that will draw you towards Buddhahood in your next existence. Single-mindedly chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo and urge others to do the same; that will remain as the only memory of your present life in this human world."
