-- TO MY FRIENDS --
To practice this faith 

means to have unlimited courage.

With strong powerful 

daimoku and action,

let's break through the walls 

of the "impossible!"
A transformation 

of our inner resolve 

is what opens a breakthrough 

to victory!

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"'The Lotus Sutra is like the seed, the Buddha like the sower and the people like the field.'

– From "The Essentials for Attaining Buddhahood" (WND–1, 748).

"When we tell others about the joy of practising Nichiren Buddhism, we plant the seeds of Buddhahood in their hearts. We therefore don't need to worry about whether they respond positively or negatively. With time, those seeds will produce flowers of happiness and create an ever-unfolding garden of harmony and joy.

"We are sowing the seeds of the Mystic Law. Taking pride in carrying out this most noble work of the Buddha, let us carefully nurture each of the precious connections we have made through sharing the Mystic Law.

"With the eternal optimism of 'Still I am not discouraged' (WND–1, 748), let us continue, wisely and cheerfully, to help many more people form a connection to Nichiren Buddhism, directly carrying on the Daishonin's spirit." 

Spreading the Brilliant Light of the Daishonin's Writings, [68] Encouragement that Plants the Seeds of Buddhahood in Others' Hearts, from the 28th December, 2021 issue of the Seikyo Newspaper, translation released February 2022.
