-- TO MY FRIENDS --
[Quoting the Great teacher
Miao-lo,
the Daishonin assures us]:
"The stronger one's faith,
the greater the protection
of the gods."
By chanting with conviction
and taking action,
we summon forth
the protective forces of the universe.
Let's dauntlessly break through
the obstacles we face!
*from "The Supremacy of the Law" - WND-1, page 614

This I will state. Let the gods forsake me. Let all persecutions assail me. Still I will give my life for the sake of the Law.

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"I recently received the inspiring report that last year, in spite of the coronavirus pandemic, some 25,000 new members joined the organisation in India, many of them young people. What is the driving force behind this development? Leaders in India are unanimous in declaring that it is due to caring about the growth of each member.
"One individual stands up, and then helps another to do the same. Kosen-rufu is always a steady, gradual process.
"Person-to-person bonds – that is what counts above all else.
"Behind each person we interact with is a whole host of family members and friends. This web of human relationships is infinite. Sincerely encouraging and imparting hope to one person is an incredible cause for encouraging countless unknown others."
Our Brilliant Human Revolution, Striving to Create a World of Peace and Tranquility for All Humankind, February 21st, 2021 issue of the Seikyo Newspaper, translation released May, 2021.
