-- TO MY FRIENDS --

While challenging our own struggles

and hardships,

we devote ourselves to helping others.

Refreshing ourselves anew today,

let's carry out our noble mission

as Bodhisattvas of the Earth!

A blue fly, if it clings to the tail of a thoroughbred horse, can travel ten thousand miles, and the green ivy that twines around the tall pine can grow to a thousand feet.

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----

"'Everything has its essential point, and the heart of the Lotus Sutra is its title, or the daimoku, of Nam-myoho-renge-kyo. Truly, if you chant this in the morning and evening, you are correctly reading the entire Lotus Sutra.'

"From 'The One Essential Phrase' [WND-1,923).

"To enable all people to attain enlightenment, Nichiren Daishonin expounded a teaching that was 'easy to uphold and easy to practice' (cf. WND-1,923)—namely, embracing and chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo. The beneficial power of daimoku is immense beyond measure. Chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo contains the practices and virtues consequently attained by all Buddhas throughout the ten directions. 

"So let's joyfully carry out our morning and evening gongyo! Let's align ourselves with the rhythm of the universe, develop the life state of spiritual champions and lead lives of value creation— lives of health, harmony and happiness!"

Towards a Hope-Filled Future with the Daishonin's Writings, Leading Value-Creative Lives of Health, Harmony and Happiness. August 6th, 2022 issue of Seikyo Newspaper, translation released October, 2022.
