-- TO MY FRIENDS --
I am going to become stronger!
I am going to be kinder
and more compassionate!
When we confront
When we confront
and overcome great difficulties,
we can develop a greater self.
This is what this practice is here for!
Building a Bright Future based on our Vow—Exploring the Life of Nanjo Tokimitsu, [5] Forging an Unshakable Self, from 1st August, 2018 issue of the Mirai [Future] Journal, translation released September 2019

"(The devil king of the sixth heaven…) is at war with the votary of the Lotus Sutra to stop him from taking possession of and to wrest away from him this impure land where both ordinary people and sage dwell."

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"When we decide to follow our chosen path, we will undoubtedly encounter forces that try to stop us, like the powerful rapids buffeting the carp attempting to climb the Dragon Gate. Chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo enables us to transform such adversity into the irrepressible energy to continue moving forwards and to not be defeated. Those who remain true to their beliefs, basing their actions on daimoku, are real champions.
"Carrying out the great movement for kosen-rufu to spread peace and happiness around the world is the ultimate commitment we can make as human beings."
