-- TO MY FRIENDS --
There's no obstacle or wall 
that those who practice 
Nichiren Buddhism 
cannot overcome.
With such a spirit as 
"It's OK, it's what I do 
from now on!",
let's make our goals clear 
each and every day,
and challenge ourselves 
brimming with courage!

"Words and writing are the medium by which the minds of all living beings are revealed.  A person's writings tell us the nature of that person's mind."

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Nichiren Daishonin clarified three key points in ensuring that the heritage of the ultimate Law of life and death continues to flow in the community of practitioners.

"First is unshakable conviction in faith that the Buddha, the Mystic Law, and we ordinary human beings 'are in no way different or separate from one another' (WND- 1, 216).

"Second is steadfast faith that never 'forsakes the Lotus Sutra in any lifetime whatsoever throughout eternity' (cf. WND-1, 217).

"And third is advancing with united faith towards realising the great vow for kosen-rufu as fellow practitioners one in purpose, 'transcending all differences among themselves to become as inseparable as fish and the water in which they swim' (WND-1, 217).
