-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Nichiren writes,
"Be diligent in developing
your faith
until the last moment
of your life."
Until we fulfil our vow,
let's dauntlessly advance.
Let's engage in the battle
for kosen-rufu with no regrets!
*from "Letter to Niike" WND-1, page 1027

My followers, you had better cut short your sleep by night and curtail your leisure by day, and ponder this! You must not spend your lives in vain and regret it for ten thousand years to come.

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"As you continue to chant earnestly and take a step forwards with a tenacious challenging spirit, day after precious day, the treasures of your life filled with infinite potential will shine with the light of happiness and success.
"Even if the path you have chosen doesn't seem to be opening as hoped, please never give up on yourself. Your Buddhist faith and practice will enable you to create a story of turning adversity into victory."
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.
