-- TO MY FRIENDS --
When we awaken 
to what 
our mission in life is,
our potential unfolds limitlessly.
Never forgetting for what purpose
we are taking action,
let's advance together 
with 
our treasured fellow members
to achieve victory both 
in our own lives 
and for kosen-rufu!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"It is said that, if a teacher has a good disciple, both will gain the fruit of Buddhahood, but if a teacher fosters a bad disciple, both will fall into hell. If teacher and disciple are of different minds, they will never accomplish anything."

(Flowering and Bearing Grain
 - WND Vol. 1, page 909)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Our focus must be to develop the inner potential of life that is greater than the power of nuclear weapons, and to create a growing solidarity of the people that is more powerful than the impulse for nuclear proliferation.

"This is an important challenge for education and other awareness raising-activities to empower people.

"For my part, to the end of my days, I am determined to join with you in the unceasing spiritual struggle to create a world free from violence."
