-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's put our very best
into what we set out to do today
so that we can proudly say,
at the end of the day,
"I've been victorious!"
Those who continually
challenge themselves
are always cheerful.
Let's joyfully make a new record of
spreading happiness to the people
around us!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"And yet, though one might point at the earth and miss it, though one might bind up the sky, though the tides might cease to ebb and flow and the sun rise in the west, it could never come about that the prayers of the practitioner of the Lotus Sutra would go unanswered."
(On Prayer
- WND, Vol. 1, page 345)

— From 'The Three Obstacles and Four Devils' (WND –1, 637).
"A person's true measure is revealed in times of hardship. Challenging adversity without giving up is the spirit of the wise who follow in Nichiren Daishonin's footsteps. Faith in the Mystic Law is the surefire formula for changing everything into a source of growth and progress.
"Through striving wholeheartedly for kosen-rufu, we can carry out our own great human revolution and transform our destiny.
"My dear young friends, be wise champions of Soka who brim with hope and optimism! I am chanting for each one of you, confident that you will achieve brilliant youthful victories."
Advancing with the Gosho (2), from the Seikyo Newspaper, March 14th 2019, translation released May 2019.
