-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Buddhism is about what goes on 
in the present and the future.
It is pointless to be dwelling 
too much on past glories.
At the same time there is no need 
to be dragging on about past setbacks.
Starting from right now aiming towards the future,
let's forever advance with a fresh new breath!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"That is why the Great Teacher Miao-lo stated, 'The stronger one's faith, the greater the protection of the gods.'  So long as one maintains firm faith, one is certain to receive the great protection of the gods."

(The Supremacy of the Law 
- WND, Vol. 1, page 614)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Courage is not something separate from our daily lives or beyond our reach. It is found right here within our lives, which embody the principle of the 'mutual possession of the Ten Worlds.' Anyone, irrespective of age or gender, can bring forth courage. We can overcome our inner weakness with the lions roar of Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, and take 
action to surmount our self imposed limitations that make us give up or settle for less."

The Buddhism of the Sun—Illuminating the World, (33) To My Dear Friends of the Youth Division-Part1 [of 5], Overcoming Inner Weakness with the Lions Roar of Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, from the January 2018 issue of Daibyaku-renge, translation released Sep. 2018
