-- TO MY FRIENDS --
"The place where the person
upholds and honours the Lotus Sutra
is the 'place of practice.'"
The place where we are right now
is the stage for us
to perform our Human Revolution on.
Let's be a person who tries to shine
in both our local community
and society!
*from OTT pg. 192

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
Suffer what there is to suffer, enjoy what there is to enjoy. Regard both suffering and joy as facts of life, and continue chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, no matter what happens.

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The Daishonin encourages Tokimitsu to ' believe continuously without ever regressing' and praises him for visiting him 'constantly, regardless of the difficulties' (WND-1, 899). In the same way, I hope all of you will keep moving ahead and never give up.
"As long as you continue to believe in your potential, the way forwards will open for you. Even if you don't achieve your immediate goal, each step you take towards it will shine as a wonderful accomplishment…"
Building a Bright Future based on our Vow—Exploring the Life of Nanjo Tokimitsu, [4] Perseverance Is Another Name for Unwavering Determination, from 1st July, 2018 issue of the Mirai [Future] Journal, translation released September 2019
