-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Those who practice the Lotus Sutra
will, for sure, be protected
by the protective forces
of the universe.
Let's determine
Let's determine
what we want to achieve,
chant daimoku and take action!
Based always on the basics
of our Buddhist practice,
let's create a drama of great joy!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Carry through with your faith in the Lotus Sutra. You cannot strike fire from flint if you stop halfway. Bring forth the great power of faith, and be spoken of by all the people of Kamakura, both high and low, or by all the people of Japan, as 'Shijō Kingo, Shijō Kingo of the Lotus school!' Even a bad reputation will spread far and wide. A good reputation will spread even farther, particularly if it is a reputation for devotion to the Lotus Sutra."

"Mr. Toda often said that even if only two or three people attended a discussion meeting, we should talk about how wonderful it is to practice Nichiren Buddhism and ensure that everyone goes home inspired and filled with joy. That, he said, promotes the growth of the frontline organisation."
