-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Daishonin asserts,
"A hundred years of practice 
in the Land of Perfect Bliss 
cannot compare to the benefit 
gained from one day's practice 
in the impure world."*
It is most certain that 
if we willingly jump in and engage 
in the midst of a relentless situation 
for the sake of kosen-rufu,
our lives will be brilliantly adorned 
with immeasurable good fortune
and benefit.
Now, courageously and resolutely, 
let's forge ahead, even more!

*WND-1, page 736

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Although I and my disciples may encounter various difficulties, if we do not harbour doubts in our hearts, we will as a matter of course attain Buddhahood."

(The Opening of the Eyes 
- WND, Vol. 1, page 283)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"As Bodhisattvas of the Earth, we have each appeared in this troubled saha world, our chosen place of mission, accompanied by a vast multitude of companions. Consequently, when we work wholeheartedly to fulfil our vow to spread the Mystic Law, these companions, with whom we share deep karmic ties, begin to emerge in our environment one after another. And they come to work alongside us to realise kosen-rufu and the Daishonin's ideal of 'establishing the correct teaching for the peace of the land.' This is the principle of 'emerging from the earth' (WND–1, 385)."
