-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Daishoni encourages us,
"Be as fearless as Nichiren."*
Whatever challenges 
we might be facing now,
if we make up our minds to win 
and continue to take the offensive 
until the very end,
no matter what,
then we are certain to win!
Employing the strategy 
of the Lotus Sutra,**
let us continue to advance!

*Gosho: "Yet you must grit your teeth and never slacken in your faith. Be as fearless as Nichiren when he acted and spoke out before Hei no Saemon-no-jō." 
- WND-1, page 498
**"Employ the strategy of the Lotus Sutra before any other." 
- WND-1, page 1001

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"And yet, 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."

(On Prayer 
- WND, Vol. 1, page 345)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"A mighty tree with solid roots will not be toppled, even in the face of the fiercest storms. Similarly, those who put down strong, deep roots of faith will be fine, even if they grow anxious or lose confidence at times. People who chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo throughout all will always find a way forwards."
