-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Courage is what 
our faith and practice 
are all about.
Let's challenge ourselves 
to surmount the walls of reality
and the obstacle 
of our own cowardice!
Let's be firmly determined 
"now more than ever"
and aim directly towards 
a glorious future!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"You must simply make up your mind. Look at the world this year as a mirror. The reason that you have survived until now when so many have died was so that you would meet with this affair."

(Reply to Yasaburō 
- WND, Vol. 1, page 829)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"'Now, when Nichiren and his followers chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, thinking in that way to save all the living beings of this country of Japan, is this not an example of the great mercy of the World-Honoured One [Shakayamuni Buddha]?'

-From the Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings, p. 60.

"Nichiren Daishonin, the Buddha of the Latter Day of the Law, began chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo to enable all people to attain genuine happiness. The Soka Gakkai is the organisation striving in accord with the Diashonin's intent and, in this way, repaying the great debt of gratitude we owe him.

"Because of this, we can tap limitless power to benefit others and lead them to enlightenment. We can create the greatest hope in the most trying times.

"Dedicating our lives to kosen-rufu is the best way of showing our appreciation for our good fortune."

Engraving The Daishonin's Writings in Our Hearts, [95] Creating the Greatest Possible Hope, from 12th    December, 2020 issue of the Seikyo Newspaper, translation released February 2021.
