-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Daishonin encourages us,
"Employ the strategy of
the Lotus Sutra before any other."*
Always and whatever the challenge,
let's begin by chanting daimoku
Always and whatever the challenge,
let's begin by chanting daimoku
first and foremost!
The wellspring of our drive force
The wellspring of our drive force
for taking the best action
is our chanting
to (the Gohonzon of) the Mystic Law,
to (the Gohonzon of) the Mystic Law,
the ultimate law of the universe.

"There is definitely something extraordinary in the ebb and flow of the tide, the rising and setting of the moon, and the way in which summer, autumn, winter, and spring give way to each other. Something uncommon also occurs when an ordinary person attains Buddhahood. At such a time, the three obstacles and four devils will invariably appear, and the wise will rejoice while the foolish will retreat."

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Hope is synonymous with the willingness to keep believing in possibilities and in your inherent potential, no matter what. Hope's worst enemy is negativity, a lack of belief in yourself, causing you to think that 'I can't do it' or 'I'm no good.'

"Therefore, when you encounter an obstacle, instead of thinking it's insurmountable, tackle it head on and see what happens. Instead of counting all the things you can't do, look for the things you can."
