-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Daishonin writes,
"The reason that you have survived
until now when so many have died
was so that you would meet with this affair."*
"The great struggle for the vow of kosen-rufu
starts right here! From myself!"
Let's compose an absolutely outstanding
personal history
based on this great determination!
*from Reply to Yasaburō WND-1 pg. 829
"Do not depend on others. You must simply make up your mind. Look at the world this year as a mirror. The reason that you have survived until now when so many have died was so that you would meet with this affair."

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
Regard your service to your lord as the practice of the Lotus Sutra. This is what is meant by "No worldly affairs of life or work are ever contrary to the true reality."
(Reply to a Believer - WND-1, page 905)

"Each action we take and every conversation we have –- all of our steady efforts to chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo and work on the front lines of our movement—cause immense good fortune and benefit to accumulate in our lives and the lives of others. It is also through these steady efforts that we expand the ranks of capable Bodhisattvas of the Earth."
