-- TO MY FRIENDS --
When we touch the spirit of the Daishonin,
the greatest life state 
that cannot be defeated 
by any kind of hardship,
unfolds within ourselves.
Together with our 
hope-filled capable friends 
who shoulder the future,
let's exert ourselves 
in our study of the philosophy
of Nichiren Buddhism!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Probably two people, three people, ten people, a hundred people will join in chanting it, until it spreads to one province, two provinces, and all the sixty-six provinces of Japan, and reaches even to the two islands of Iki and Tsushima."

(The Blessings of the Lotus Sutra 
- WND, Vol. 1, page 672)
Selection Source: 
SGI President Ikeda's guidance,

—— DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The Daishonin writes: 'There should be no discrimination among those who propagate the five characters of Myoho-renge-kyo* in the Latter Day of the law, be they men or women' (WND–1, 385). In the practice of Nichiren Buddhism, there is no gender bias or discrimination; everyone is a noble Bodhisattva of the Earth."

Building a Bright Future Based on Our Vow, [13] The Lay Nun Ueno, Nanjo Tokimitsu's Mother, Your Heart Determines the Youth You Lead,from 1st April, 2019 issue of the Mirai (Future) Journal, translation released August 2020 

*Myoho-renge-kyo is written with five Chinese characters, while Nam-myoho-renge-kyo is written with seven (Nam, or Namu, being comprised of two characters). The Daishonin often uses Myoho-renge-kyo synonymously with Nam-myoho-renge-kyo in his writings.
