-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Daishonin states,
"Fortune comes from one's heart
and makes one worthy of respect."*
An endless source of happiness
exists within our very own lives.
Let's play out together
a drama of creating value!
*Gosho: WND-1, p.1137

--- 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)

"The Daishonin writes: 'The flower will return to the root and the essence of the plant will remain in the earth' (WND – 1, 737). In accord with this principle, the benefit accumulated by courageous Bodhisattvas of the Earth who spread the Mystic Law also becomes the benefit and good fortune of those who fostered them. The rewards or positive results of nurturing the children of the Buddha are immeasurable and boundless."
The Wisdom for Creating Happiness and Peace, [1] The Future Division: The Key to the Ongoing Development of Kosen-rufu, 4. Fostering "Torchbearers of Justice." January 2018 Daibyaku-renge, translation released September 2019
