-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The important point
in developing capable people
is to chant daimoku together,
take action together
and study together.
Let's make every effort
to help our "younger"
and new members
to outshine ourselves!

"Shakyamuni, Many Treasures, and the other Buddhas intend to insure the future propagation of the Lotus Sutra so that it can be made available to all the children of the Buddha in times to come. We may surmise from this that their concern and compassion are even greater than those of a father and mother who see their only child inflicted with great suffering."
("The Opening of the Eyes", WND-l pages 286 -287)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"To have the easygoing attitude that things will somehow work out simply because we have faith in the Mystic Law is a mistake. It is because we practise Nichiren Buddhism that we must chant earnestly about how to resolve each problem before us and then take action to do so.. That earnest resolve and challenging spirit produces unparalleled wisdom. And making use of this tremendous power of wisdom generated by faith is the key to victory in all things."
The New Human Revolution—Vol.30, Vow 93, translation released September 2018
