-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's offer our appreciation
to all those who are earnestly 
devoting themselves to protecting 
our lives 
and supporting our daily lives,
including those in the medical, 
welfare and educational fields!
Without taking these things 
for granted,
let's be sure to reach out, 
when we can, and say "thank you."

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
Those possessed by a great devil will, once they succeed in persuading a believer to recant, use that person as a means for making many others abandon their faith.

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"'Everywhere other than the Capital of Tranquil Light is a realm of suffering. Once you leave the haven of inherent enlightenment, what is there to bring you joy?"

– From 'Questions and Answers about Embracing the Lotus Sutra' (WND–1, 64).

"Kosen-rufu is the noble task of creating the 'Capital of Tranquil Light,' and enlightened realm, in our suffering-filled societies…. 

"Nichiren Daishonin is surely aware of all your tireless, admirable efforts. The lives of those who bring forth their innate Buddhahood, the 'haven of inherent enlightenment,' will never be deadlocked.

"Together with your fellow members, please continue creating wonderful 'memories of your present life in this human world' (cf.WND–1, 64)." 

Spreading the Brilliant light of the Daishonin's Writings, [38] "Creating Precious Ties of friendship and Trust," 22nd June 2021 issue of the Seikyo Newspaper, translation released July 2021.
