-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Daishonin teaches us,
"Where there is unseen virtue,
there will be visible reward."*
Nothing goes to waste
in our practice of Nichiren Buddhism.
Based on our faith,
all endeavours and perseverances
we make or encounter for the sake of kosen-rufu
never fail to bear the fruits of victory.
* "Unseen Virture and Visible Reward", WND-l page 907

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"(when one practices the Lotus Sutra under such circumstances), difficulties will arise, and they are to be looked on as 'peaceful' practices."
(OTT, page 115)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT -----
"'Nichiren Daishonin writes: 'If one listens to even one character or one phrase of the Lotus Sutra, one cannot fail to attain Buddhahood' (WND –1, 513). In perfect accord with this spirit, our members, steadfastly believing in the Buddha nature of each individual, have consistently and tirelessly encouraged those in their groups and districts, never giving up on them. That is why worldwide kosen-rufu has expanded to the extent that it has today."
Editorial from the March 2018 edition of Daibyaku Renge, translation released May 2018
