-- TO MY FRIENDS --
All of our young friends 
who are studying Buddhism,
remember that kosen-rufu 
always advances based on 
The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin.
Let's polish our swords of faith,*
the very driving force for all victories!

*"The sharp sword that severs the fundamental darkness inherent in life, is none other than the Lotus Sutra." - WND-I, page 1038
"The single word 'belief' is the sharp sword with which one confronts and overcomes fundamental darkness or ignorance." - OTT, page 119

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"The purpose of the appearance in this world of Shakyamuni Buddha, the lord of teachings, lies in his behaviour as a human being."

(The Three Kinds of Treasure
 - WND, Vol. 1, page 852)
Selection Source: "Kyo no Hosshin",
 Seikyo Shinbun, August 5th, 

Monday, August 6th, 2018
---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Peolle who only care about protecting their own interests, who hunger for fame and profit, cannot carry out true reform. The great undertaking of kosen-rufu, too, will be achieved by people of resolute commitment."

The New Human Revolution— Vol. 30, Vow 45, translation released May, 2018
