-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Our battle for kosen-rufu
is one of unceasing efforts.
By chanting daimoku
with fresh new determination,
let's start anew with dynamism!
Aiming towards the great boundless sky

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Changing our heart is not a matter of doing something that will only temporarily lift our mood or make us feel better, without changing our reality. A true change in our heart is more profound; genuine inner change produces actual change in our lives. Deepening our 'heart'—Our life state—is the essence of our religion of human revolution. When we speak of obtaining benefit through our Buddhist practice, we are ultimately referring to our inner transformation at the deepest level.
"That's why we need to have a serious attitude in faith. If we allow ourselves to be defeated by negative functions and give in to complaint, our hearts will lose their vibrancy. The subtlest difference in our hearts can produce dramatically different results."
The Buddhism of the Sun-illuminating the World, [32] A Religion of Human Revolution—Part 12, The Heart is Where All Change Begins, December 2017 edition of Daibyaku-renge, translation released August 2018
