-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's really put our backs into 
challenging what we can do 
right now!
Taking action fearlessly 
like a charging lion,
spreads waves of courage,
and opens the way 
to kosen-rufu's advancement!

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"'The ten directions are the "environment," and living beings are "life." To illustrate, environment is like the shadow, and life, the body. Without the body, no shadow can exist, and without life, no environment. In the same way, life is shaped by its environment.'

- From "On Omens" (WND–1, 644). 

"The 'oneness of life and its environment' is a fundamental principle of Buddhism offering boundless hope. In other words, when we change, our environment changes. Through the power of our resolve, we can transform our homes, our workplaces and are communities.

"Therefore, let's set clear goals again this year, chant about how we can achieve them and then take concrete action. In both our lives and in society, let's demonstrate how our human revolution contributes to realising a peaceful and prosperous world based on humanistic ideals.

"Let's also remember to do our best to protect the environment by solidly uniting with others and making effort from where we are right now."

Spreading the Brilliant Light of the Daishonin's Writings {New Series}, [3] Setting Clear Goals Is Crucial to Victory, January 21st, 2021's issue of the Seikyo Newspaper, translation released April 2021.
