-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's not assume that
'someone else' will deal with things.
Instead let's be of the mind 'I'll do it,
Instead let's be of the mind 'I'll do it,
I'll be the one who tears down
that wall of difficulty that confronts us!'
Each and every one of us
Each and every one of us
is the trailblazer of
kosen-rufu in this new age!
Let's be proud of our mission
as we walk this grand path.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"I am praying that, no matter how troubled the times may become, the Lotus Sutra and the ten demon daughters will protect all of you, praying as earnestly as though to produce fire from damp wood, or to obtain water from parched ground."
(On Rebuking Slander of the Law and Eradicating Sins - WND, Vol. 1, page 444)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
As the Daishonin says: 'If one can establish a relationship with even just one phrase of the Wonderful Law [the Mystic Law, or Nam-myoho -renge-kyo], that relationship will continue unbroken over a million kalpas' (0TT, 219). In other words, once the seeds of Buddhahood are sown, they will persist forever. Even if someone with whom you share Buddhism doesn't immediately begin practising, there's no need to be disappointed. Just keep steadily nurturing the seeds you have sown, in a natural way."
June Editorial, We Are Sowing the Seeds of Buddhahood, from the June 2018 issue of Daibyaku Renge, translation released June 2018
