-- TO MY FRIENDS --
By participating in 
bright cheerful gatherings
full of dreams, hopes and goals 
for achieving kosen-rufu,
everyone is rejuvenated 
with a cheerful smile.
Let's have 
blossoms of happiness bloom
in our districts, blocks and groups!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"I am praying that, no matter how troubled the times may become, the Lotus Sutra and the ten demon daughters will protect all of you, praying as earnestly as though to produce fire from damp wood, or to obtain water from parched ground."

(On Rebuking Slander of the Law and Eradicating Sins - WND, Vol. 1, page 444)
Selection Source: "Kyo no Hosshin," Seikyo Newspaper, February 17th, 2022

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The Japanese nation was in turmoil in these final days of World War II, with air raids intensifying. Mr. Toda's young son had been evacuated to the countryside, and Mr. Toda himself was still in jail. And yet how confident he was, declaring in effect: 'I am a "wealthy person" now and forever! And everyone connected to me is also a "wealthy person"!' Faith is the greatest form of wealth.

"For those with faith, the more their problems and suffering, the stronger they become. They can bring happiness to all around them. Nothing disturbs or discourages them.

"You are all emissaries of the Buddha. You are noble Bodhisattvas of the Earth. I hope you will live your lives with strength and fortitude, with the reassuring spirit 'as long as I am here, you have nothing to fear!' And the conviction 'I am truly a "wealthy person"!'"
