-- TO MY FRIENDS --
By viewing the video broadcast 
of the HQ leaders' meeting,
let's make a vigorous new start!
"If the roots of a tree reach far down,
then its branches will flourish."*
The deeper our initial commitment,
the more power for victory 
gushes forth!

*Gosho: "To employ a simile, if the roots of a tree reach far down, then its branches will flourish; and if the source of a river is far away, its flow will be long-lasting."
 (OTT, page 24)

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"In the light of the above points, this shows, my followers, that you had better cut short your sleep by night and curtail your leisure by day, and ponder this! You must not spend your lives in vain and regret it for ten thousand years to come."

(The Problem to Be Pondered Night and Day 
- WND, Vol. 1, page 622)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Prayer in Nichiren Buddhism means making a vow to win without fail.

"Everything begins with prayer. I myself have begun every great effort for kosen-rufu with prayer. Whenever I faced difficulties, I challenged them with prayer as my foundation, chanting wholeheartedly and overcoming them one by one." 

The Buddhism of the Sun—Illuminating the World, [70] Everything Begins with Prayer Infused with the Shared Vow of Mentor and Disciple, from the February 2021 issue of the Daibyakurenge, translation released December 2021.
