-- TO MY FRIENDS --
No matter what's happened in the past,
through earnest daimoku and action,
we can certainly transform our future.
With the unshakable conviction
that this faith and practice 
is for absolute victory,
let's aim to win,
from today, right where we are!

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The fourth pillar is prayers for 'establishing the correct teaching for the peace of the land.'

"...Our mission is to create a world where all can live in peace and security.

"Our prayers are grounded in action to realise the Daishonin's ideal of establishing the correct teaching for the peace of the land and the entire world. They are the prayers of courageous individuals committed to transforming the destiny of humankind. That is the true meaning of prayers infused with the vow of mentor and disciple.

"The starting point for 'establishing the correct teaching for the peace of the land' is prayer that enables us to awaken to the greatness of our lives." 
 
The Buddhism of the Sun—Illuminating the World, [70] Everything Begins with Prayer Infused with the Shared Vow of Mentor and Disciple, "Establishing the Correct Teaching for the Peace of the Land" Is the Vow of Mentor and Disciple, from the February 2021 issue of the Daibyakurenge, translation released December 2021.
- To be continued tomorrow! And for a while…
