-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Each and everyone one of us
has a unique mission
that only we can accomplish.
By acknowledging and respecting that
By acknowledging and respecting that
we are all different from one another,
we can take one very important step
towards the unity of
"many in body, one in mind."

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"'I vowed to summon up a powerful and unconquerable desire for the salvation of all beings and never to falter in my efforts.
"'It is already over 20 years since I began proclaiming my doctrines. Day after day, month after month, year after year I have been subjected to repeated persecutions. Minor persecutions and annoyances are too numerous even to be counted, but the major persecutions number four.'
- From "The Opening of the Eyes" (WND – 1, 240).
"The Daimoku of Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, which Nichiren Daishonin chanted for the first time, is the great beneficial medicine that enables all living beings to attain Buddhahood. After proclaiming his teaching (on April 28th, 1253), the Daishonin endured a series of life-threatening persecutions to open the great path to enlightenment into the eternal future of the Latter Day of the Law.
"Committed to fulfilling our vow as Bodhisattvas of the Earth, we can reveal the same invincible life state as the Daishonin to overcome all challenges and difficulties.
"Powerfully chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, which draws forth the Buddha nature in all people, let's continue making unremitting efforts to realise the Daishonin's ideal of 'establishing the correct teaching for the peace of the land,' together with our fellow members throughout the world."
