-- TO MY FRIENDS --
"The benefit of one day's devotion 
to achieving kosen-rufu"
surpasses 
"a hundred years of practice 
in the Land of Perfect Bliss".*
The more difficult the situation,
the more opportunity for us 
to improve our life state.
Courageously and with joy, 
let's go meet our friends!

*"A hundred years of practice in the Land of Perfect Bliss cannot compare to the benefit gained from one day's practice in the impure world." 
- "On Repaying Debts of Gratitude" 
(WND, Vol.1, page 736)

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"In view of the accuracy of his prediction, can there be any doubt that, after this period described in the Great Collection Sutra when 'the pure Law will become obscured and lost,' the great pure Law of the Lotus Sutra will be spread far and wide throughout Japan and all the other countries of Jambudvīpa?."

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Buddhism teaches that through a change in the depths of our own life, a change in a single life moment, we can transform ourselves and our environment, and move everything in the direction of hope, happiness and victory.

"In other words, our determinations and prayers right now can tear down seemingly insurmountable barriers and open a broad gateway to growth."

Building a Bright Future Based on Our Vow, [22] The Lay Nun Toki, The Future Is Now, translated from the 1st Jan. 2020 issue of Future Journal, translation released June 2022.
