-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Daishonin encourages us with the words,
"I entrust you with the propagation of Buddhism 
in your province."*
Today again, 
by engaging in courageous 
and sincere conversation with others,
let's help as many people as possible 
to form a connection with Buddhism!
Let's become a beacon of light 
that brightens our community 
just as would a lighthouse!

*"The Properties of Rice" - WND-I, page 1117

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Believe in this mandala with all your heart. Nam-myoho-renge-kyo is like the roar of a lion. What sickness can therefore be an obstacle?"

(Reply to Kyō'ō

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"By making friends with one person after another, and thinking and acting from their perspective, we are able to limitlessly expand our own life force. Chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo helps us bring forth that power.

"Let's chant vibrant daimoku again today and take a step forwards from where we were yesterday!

"Your future, and the future of humanity, is in your own heart."
