-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Everyone faces times 
when they have 
problems or struggles.
Rather than keeping things 
to ourselves,
it's important to talk to 
a fellow member
whom we can trust 
and feel comfortable sharing with.
By doing so, 
we are certain to be able to 
start anew with fresh determination,
brimming full of 
strength and vigour
to move forwards!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"The king Wonderful Adornment was an evil king. However, because his two sons, Pure Storehouse and Pure Eye, guided him to the way, he and his wife were both able to place their trust in the Lotus Sutra and become Buddhas. Mysteriously enough, your own circumstances are much the same."

(The Sons Pure Storehouse 
     and Pure Eye 
- WND, Vol. 1, page 1050)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"'There is no true happiness other than upholding faith in the Lotus Sutra. This is what is meant by "peace and security in their present existence and good circumstances in future existence"' [LSOC5, 136].

From 'Happiness in This World' (WND—1, 681).

"All who embrace faith in the Mystic Law can cause their lives, which embody the principle of 'three thousand realms in a single moment of life,' to shine brightly. They can freely bring forth the power of the Buddha and transform any negative karma without fail. They can attain an eternally indestructible life state of security and good fortune and help others do the same.

"Our dialogues to share Nichiren Buddhism will steadily create a world where we and others can enjoy our lives at ease (cf.LSOC 16, 272). Vibrantly engaging in such efforts is a source of true fulfilment and boundless joy." 

Towards a Hope-Filled Future with the Daishonin's Writings, Working for Kosen-rufu Is Life's Greatest Honour, from the April 26th, 2022 issue of the Seikyo Newspaper translation released July 2022
