-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Daishonin encourages us,
"One who,
on hearing the teachings of the Lotus Sutra,
makes even greater efforts in faith
is a true seeker of the way."*
The journey to fulfill our noble vow
is inevitably accompanied
by ceaseless struggles for kosen-rufu.
No matter what,
let's be determined to continue to advance!
*Gosho: " One who, on hearing the teachings of the Lotus Sutra, makes
even greater efforts in faith is a true seeker of the way."
- "Hell Is the Land of Tranquil Light", WND-I, 457

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"If one lights a fire for others, one will brighten one's own way."
("On the Three Virtues of Food", WND-ll page 1060)

"I'm filled with hope and excitement to think about the dreams you will cherish, the goals you will set in order to achieve them and how you will spread your wings and challenge yourselves in the coming years.
"At times when you find yourself feeling down or frustrated, please remember that I will not stop believing in you. I will always be cheering you on and chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo for you.
"Let's advance! Let's improve ourselves! Let's take flight! Together, let's begin a fresh challenge towards realising our dreams!"
Messages from Our Brilliant Planet, [9] The Himalayas in Nepal, from 1st January, 2018 issue of Boys and Girls Hope News, translation released March 2019.
