-- TO MY FRIENDS --
To those students who are 
challenging 
school entrance exams,
let's send them our
wholehearted daimoku.
At the same time, 
let's be considerate 
of their family members who are
trying earnestly to support them.
Let's cheer all of them on 
with heartwarming support!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"'The stronger one's faith, the greater the protection of the gods.' This means that the protection of the gods depends on the strength of one's faith."

(General Stone Tiger 
- WND, Vol. 1, page 953)
Selection Source: "Kyo no Hosshin," 
Seikyo Newspaper, Jan. 8th, 2022

Sunday, January 9th, 2022
---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"'Those who hear even a single sentence or phrase of the Lotus Sutra will attain Buddhahood without fail.'

From 'The Four Debt of Gratitude' 
(WND–1, 42).

"By sharing even just a few words about the Mystic Law, we can guide others towards the supreme path of attaining Buddhahood. That is why the benefit of letting others hear about Nam-myoho-renge-kyo is so immense. Let's treasure each person we encounter and, through sincere and courageous dialogue help others form connections with Nichiren Buddhism that will fill them with hope.

"Our dialogues to create a peaceful world are contributing great good to our societies today. They also represent the noble work of the Buddha by building a growing force of people committed to their own and others' happiness now and into the eternal future." 

Spreading the Brilliant Light of the Daishonin's writings, [55] Imparting Hope through Dialogue, translated from the September 29th, 2021, issue of the Seikyo Newspaper, translation released December 2021.
