-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Confronting hardships
and enthusiastically striving
to the very end,
is the noble path to
elevating our life condition.
United with our
precious fellow members
and supporting each other
to the full,
let's challenge ourselves
in the great struggle
of kosen-rufu!

"The blessings gained by practising the correct teaching, however, are so great that by meeting minor sufferings in this life we can change the karma that destines us to suffer terribly in the future."

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The Daishonin praises the lay nun Sennichi as 'a woman who embraces the lion king of the Lotus Sutra" (WND–1, 949). 'Embrace' here means to uphold the Gohonzon throughout one's life, to never stray from faith, no matter what.
"'Embracing' is another word for 'practising.' It means chanting earnestly to the Gohonzon and doing our best to participate in Soka Gakkai activities aimed at advancing kosen-rufu. By steadfastly persevering in such efforts, we can forge a fearless self and the life state of a lion king that will not be defeated by any problem or challenge."
Building a Bright Future Based on Our Vow, [18] Abutsu-bo and the lay Nun Sennichi—Part 2 [of 2],Those with Lionhearted Faith Fear Nothing! From 1st September, 2019 issue of the Future Journal, translation released April 2021
