-- TO MY FRIENDS --
At the very heart of Buddhism
is the mentor – disciple relationship.
When we challenge to advance
with the noble spirit of oneness
of mentor and disciple,
there are absolutely no obstacles
that we cannot break through!
Chanting daimoku powerfully
like a charging lion,
let's create a triumphal history!

"They say that when roots are deep, the leaves will not wither; when there is a jewel in the heart of the fountain, its waters will never cease to flow. And how deep are the roots of your faith, how pure the jewel in your heart."

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Commending a disciple who persevered in faith and sincerely supported him throughout the four seasons, Nichiren Daishonin writes: 'Not a single one of them [your offerings in faith] will fail to bring you benefit' (WND –2, 806).
"None of our devoted efforts for kosen-rufu is ever in vain.
Particularly, over this past year, our members everywhere have striven tirelessly, undefeated by any challenge. They have fought their hardest, praying for the peace and security of the land is based on the humanistic principles of Nichiren Buddhism and using their creativity and ingenuity to stay connected and encourage one another. The Daishonin is surely praising them most highly."
