-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Is there anyone 
who is in a difficult situation ?
By using our searchlight of faith 
let's light a way for our friends 
who might be struggling!
Let's all make this 
"Week of Encouragement" 
really meaningful
by bringing hope to people 
in our local surroundings!

-- DAILY GOSHO --
"I am praying that, no matter how troubled the times may become, the Lotus Sutra and the ten demon daughters will protect all of you, praying as earnestly as though to produce fire from damp wood, or to obtain water from parched ground."

(On Rebuking Slander of the Law and Eradicating Sins 
- WND, Vol. 1, page 444)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
Chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, that's the only way. Those who chant win—that's the teaching of Nichiren Buddhism. 

"Nichiren Daishonin writes: 'The fundamental nature of enlightenment manifests itself as [the protective gods of Buddhism] Brahma and Shakra" (WND–1, 1113).

"If we continue chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, our fundamentally enlightened nature, or Buddhahood, will shine brightly within our lives and we will develop a state of life that enables us to win in everything. And the workings of Brahma and Shakra, positive functions of the universe, will emerge to guide us and others to happiness."
