-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Daishonin urges,
"If you care anything about 
your personal security,
you should first of all 
pray for order and tranquillity
throughout the four quarters 
of the land, should you not?"*
Let's continue to engage 
in dialogue with others
and share the spirit of  "Rissho Ankoku"**
that enables us to surmount this age 
of divisiveness, 
and help connect all people together!

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Buddhism focuses on being victorious, and in such a struggle, there is always opposition and resistance, a succession of problems and difficulties. But true and enduring happiness comes only by triumphing over all those challenges. The same applies to achieving kosen-rufu. That is why I call out to you with all my heart: Be victorious!"
