-- TO MY FRIENDS --
"You cannot strike fire
from flint if you stop halfway."
Perseverance and constant effort 
 is the power
  to break through any wall of obstacles.
No matter the circumstances,
 let's persevere with unyielding faith!

*from "Earthly Desires Are Enlightenment" - WND-1, page 319

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
The first shi of the word shishi, or "lion" [which means "teacher"], is the Wonderful Law that is passed on by the teacher. The second shi [which means "child"] is the Wonderful Law as it is received by the disciples. The "roar" is the sound of the teacher and the disciples chanting in unison.

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"I watched the entire event, wholeheartedly applauding your songs and performances, the experiences you recounted and the dreams you shared, young lives connecting across time and distance.

"... Seeking and practising the Mystic Law – the ultimate teaching of respect for the dignity of life – each of you is without question a strong and brilliant sun of courage, a pure and ever-luminous lotus flower of hope. That is why, no matter how dark the times become, no matter how turbulent and corrupt society maybe, you who are dedicated to fulfilling your vow will never be defeated."

World Youth General Meeting, Entrusting you with the Spirit of "Faith for Absolute Victory," Translated from 28th September, 2020 issue of the Seikyo Newspaper, translation released December 2020.
