-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Determine to absolutely succeed
no matter how difficult
the current situation might be.
This is the spirit of the Gakkai.
Every day,
through our sincere chanting,
let's manifest our wisdom
and advance!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
Although I and my disciples may encounter various difficulties, if we do not harbour doubts in our hearts, we will as a matter of course attain Buddhahood. Do not have doubts simply because heaven does not lend you protection. Do not be discouraged because you do not enjoy an easy and secure existence in this life.

"Please reach out to those around you who may be struggling, thoroughly encouraging them and speak with them about Buddhism. In doing so, you can cultivate the leadership and character that will inspire others, while also deepening your conviction in Nichiren Buddhism."
