-- TO MY FRIENDS --
This is the Buddhism in which
"earthly desires lead to enlightenment."
With daimoku as our foundation,
the more we face our problems
and challenge them
the more our circumstances
are going to open up.
Let's continue
to tenaciously advance!

Nevertheless, even though you chant and believe in Myoho-renge-kyo, if you think the Law is outside yourself, you are embracing not the Mystic Law but an inferior teaching.

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
""Having the courage to strive without begrudging our lives doesn't mean not valuing our lives. Such selfless devotion means dedicating ourselves wholeheartedly to the Mystic Law—the teaching of life's supreme dignity—in our daily affairs and life as a whole. It means breaking free from the petty concerns of our lesser self and tirelessly taking action for the happiness of others based on a greater self, which is one with the life state of Buddhahood."
