-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The actions of one determined individual 
can be more effective
than a force of ten thousand.
First, stand up alone and take action.
Then, 
wholeheartedly encourage another 
to do the same.
Expanding our solidarity of courage 
far and wide,
let's take great strides together
to break through all limitations!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"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!'"

(Earthly Desires Are Enlightenment 
- WND, Vol. 1, page 319)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"'This trial, more than anything else, will prove your faith genuine, and the ten demon daughters [guardian deities] of the Lotus Sutra will surely protect you.'

– From 'Letter to the Brothers'
(WND–1, 497).

"Nothing is a match for the prayers of the practitioners of the Lotus Sutra. The strength of our vow to strive for kosen-rufu and realise the Daishonin's ideal of 'establishing the correct teaching for the peace of the land' is beyond measure. The Mystic Law has the power to summon forth the Buddha nature in all people.

"In challenging times, it's even more important to chant vibrant daimoku, like the roar of a lion, with a resolute prayer to overcome all obstacles and activate the protective functions of the universe. Demonstrating the true power of our faith, let's lead victorious lives that shine like pure gold." 

Spreading the Brilliant Light of the Daishonin's Writings, [41] Activating the Protective Functions of the Universe through Resolute Prayer. July 4th, 2021 issue of the Seikyo Newspaper, translation released October 2021.
