-- TO MY FRIENDS --

As the Daishonin states,

"Where there is unseen virtue,

there will be visible reward."*

Even if no one is watching,

let's devote ourselves

to taking the initiative 

to advance kosen-rufu.

Brilliant, boundless benefits

always come 

from this kind of pure heart!

*From "Unseen Virtue and Visible Reward"

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----

While enduring every kind of hardship and persecution, the Daishonin lived a life of tireless struggle, exemplify the spirit of 'exerting oneself bravely and vigourously' and 'never for a moment neglecting the Buddha's work' — all so that people everywhere could enjoy peace and happiness. There can be no more encouraging example of great compassion."
