-- TO MY FRIENDS --

When we're experiencing changes 

in our environment,

let's make chanting daimoku 

the basis of our endeavours 

to advance!

By not being affected or swayed 

by any sort of difficulty,

and continuing in our resolve 

to never retreat,

we are certain to be able 

to open the path to happiness.

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The Treaties on the Great Perfection of Wisdom* describes the fundamental spirit of bodhisattvas as follows: 'They embrace a great vow, are unwavering in mind and ever diligent in practice. Because of these three elements, they are called bodhisattvas."

"The first element is the vow for kosen-rufu, the second is unwavering resolve and the third is brave and vigourous exertion. When we possess all three, we can activate the enormous power residing within us."

Our Brilliant Human Revolution, Advancing with Courage and Hope towards a New Dawn, from the 25th December, 2020, issue of the Seikyo Newspaper, translation released February 2021.

* The Treatise on the Great Perfection of Wisdom: A comprehensive commentary on the Great Perfection of Wisdom Sutra, traditionally attributed to Nagarajuna (c. 150-250). This quote appears in volume 4.
