-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Especially in times of great difficulty,
we have the opportunity 
to create the causes
towards our tremendous growth.
While remembering to prevent infection
(from the coronavirus),
let's advance with wisdom and ingenuity!
Let's never let the flame 
of our vow for kosen-rufu go out!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
Though one might point at the earth and miss it, though one might bind up the sky, though the tides might cease to ebb and flow and the sun rise in the west, it could never come about that the prayers of the practitioner of the Lotus Sutra would go unanswered.

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Perhaps some of you aren't doing as well as you would like.... You may feel discouraged because no one is praising you or showing their faith in you.

"But never give up on yourself. If you keep trying, you may succeed the next time. And if not, be determined to do so the following time around. Encourage yourself in that way and continue challenging yourself with a positive outlook. That's the path to certain victory and to becoming a stronger, more capable person."

Building a Bright Future Based on Our Vow, [14] The Lay Nun Nichinyo, Believe in Your Own Potential! From The Future Journal, May 1st, 2019, translation released December 2020.
