-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The vow of Soka is to continue 
to pave the way
for the happiness and peace 
of the people.
Let's build bonds of trust,
right where we are now,
that will break 
the chains of mistrust 
between people!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Wherever one may be, whether in the mountains, on the seas, in the skies, or in the cities, one cannot escape death. Nevertheless, a sutra explains that even one's fixed karma can be changed. T'ien-t'ai's commentary also states that one can prolong one's fixed span of life."

(Propagation by the Wise 
- WND, Vol. 1, page 753)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
""The 'pack of foxes' refers to those who, aiming to obstruct kosen-rufu, make a commotion to slander and discredit the practitioners of the Lotus Sutra. The Daishonin tells his disciples never to allow themselves to be laughed at by people of this kind. Elsewhere, he writes: 'Slanderers are like barking foxes, but Nichiren's followers are like roaring lions' (WND –1, 997). When a lion roars, foxes flee in terror.

"With our lion's roar for the truth, we can calmly vanquish any attacks or schemes by malicious individuals.

"Mr. Toda said: 'Without the conviction that we are indeed the cubs of the lion king, we cannot be called disciples of Nichiren Daishonin. How solemn and magnificent is this conviction!'"*
