-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Daishonin assures us,
"All your virtuous acts will implant benefits 

and roots of goodness in your life."*
All our efforts and struggles 

for the sake of kosen-rufu

shine as immeasurable 

good fortune and benefits in our lives.
Let's all, together, 

take one courageous step forwards!

*Gosho: "Whether you chant the Buddha's name, recite the sutra, or merely offer flowers and incense, all your virtuous acts will implant benefits and roots of goodness in your life. With this conviction you should strive in faith." - WND-1, page 4

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"If one's heavy karma from the past is not expiated within this lifetime, one must undergo the sufferings of hell in the future, but if one experiences extreme hardship in this life [because of the Lotus Sutra], the sufferings of hell will vanish instantly."

(Lessening One's Karmic Retribution 

- WND, Vol. 1, page 199)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Dream big as you make a fresh start. A clear path to achieving your dreams lies in front of you—it is the path of learning and self-development.

"Those who study, chant and develop their hearts, minds and bodies…can bring forth unlimited potential. They can freely carry out the mission that is only theirs to fulfil.

"Even when you face long, arduous uphill struggles, if you keep moving forwards one step at a time, a hope-filled path will definitely open before you."
