-- TO MY FRIENDS --
If there is no hope,
then we must make it ourselves.
The deeper the darkness,
the more we should shine like the sun.
Let's gleam brilliantly
with ever-growing strength and cheer!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
A sword is useless in the hands of a coward. The mighty sword of the Lotus Sutra must be wielded by one courageous in faith. Then one will be as strong as a demon armed with an iron staff.

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The Bodhisattvas of the Earth are none other than each one of you. Nichiren Daishonin writes: 'Were they not Bodhisattvas of the Earth, they could not chant the daimoku [Nam-myoho-renge-kyo]' (WND–1, 385). You have each danced out onto the stage of your mission in accord with your vow from the distant past to fulfil your mission for world peace and human happiness.
"If you chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo with that awareness, great wisdom and courage will well forth from within. Your hardships will forge your inner strength, your problems will help you develop compassion and you will be able to encourage many others."
Towards 2030—To My Young Successors the Torchbearers of Justice. [28] Make This a Summer of Dynamic Growth! From the 1st July, 2022 issue of the Future Journal, translation released October 2022.
