-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Sincerely and earnestly, 
I am chanting for the speedy recovery
of everyone in Hokkaido, Kansai 
and all the other disaster-stricken areas.
At the same time,
to all of you who are helping with rescuing 
and encouraging the people in these areas,
please stay absolutely safe and accident free!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"From now on too, no matter what may happen, you must not slacken in the least."

(Kamatari Suggests the Fashioning of a Buddha Image 
- WND, Vol. 2, page 597)

Sunday, September 9th, 2018
---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"'If in a single moment of life we exhaust the pains and trials of millions of kalpas , then incident after incident there will arise in us the three Buddha bodies with which we are  eternally endowed' (0TT, 214).

"We are constantly confronted by "pains and trials" in life and in our efforts for kosen-rufu. Reality is full of struggles and challenges. But by wholeheartedly chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo without fear or self pity, and continuing to strive in our practice for ourselves and others, our inherent Buddhahood will reveal itself moment after moment."

Forging Ahead in the New Era, (30) Courageously Forging Ahead on the Path of Human Revolution, from 25th June, 2018 edition of Seikyo Newspaper, translation released July 2018
