-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Not causing any accidents 
is the very foundation 
for happiness and victory.
Through chanting daimoku 
with the strong determination
to keep the devilish functions at bay 
and by being 
even more careful than usual,
let's make absolutely sure 
that safety is always our top priority!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Regard your service to your lord as the practice of the Lotus Sutra. This is what is meant by 'No worldly affairs of life or work are ever contrary to the true reality.'"

(Reply to a Believer

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"In my diary, I wrote at the time: 'Struggles and hardships! / In their midst, you will develop true humanity'*; and 'because I have faith, / I can experience value, major good and vital life force, / and the happiness of human revolution.' That was my firm conviction.

"I fully believed in the truth of the words: 'When the skies are clear, the ground is illuminated. Similarly, when one knows the Lotus Sutra, one understands the meaning of all worldly affairs' (WND–1, 376)."
