-- TO MY FRIENDS --
To all of our deliverers who are forbearing
this fierce summer heat
and who have never failed to bring us
our organisational newspapers
and magazines,
may I say how much we all
deeply appreciate your selfless dedication!
We sincerely and earnestly send daimoku
chanting continually for your good health
and the safety of our treasures,
you our noble uncrowned heroes!

"Buddhism primarily concerns itself with victory or defeat, while secular authority is based on the principle of reward and punishment."

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"When we live undeterred by suffering, fearlessly challenging our problems and moving forwards, this itself attest to the tremendous power of Nichiren Buddhism. In other words, when we dedicate our lives to kosen-rufu, our karma is transformed into our noble mission, and our problems become invaluable treasures of the heart.
