-- TO MY FRIENDS --
In order to unfold and develop
a greater life state and
to open up new paths ,
let's set some specific goals and determinations.
What determines our future is the actions
we take here and now.
By chanting strong daimoku
and taking decisive action,
let's achieve a victorious life!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Suffer what there is to suffer, enjoy what there is to enjoy. Regard both suffering and joy as facts of life, and continue chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, no matter what happens. How could this be anything other than the boundless joy of the Law? Strengthen your power of faith more than ever."
(Happiness in This World

—— DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"'Though worldly troubles may arise, never let them disturb you. No one can avoid problems, not even sages or worthies.'
- From "Happiness in This World" (WND-1, 681).
"A youth spent working to fulfil a great mission will inevitably be filled with challenges. For those who stand up to work for the noble cause of spreading the Mystic Law, encountering slander and abuse is a badge of honour.
"Nothing is more admirable than tirelessly striving each day to realise one's vow as a youthful Bodhisattva of the Earth. Adversities help you develop an expansive and imperturbable state of life. Chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, regarding 'both suffering and joy as facts of life' (WND-1, 681), and press ahead confidently and positively. The way forwards will definitely open."
