-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Daishonin encourages,
"Have him read this letter 
again and again
and listen attentively."*
Living based on the teachings of
the Writings of Nichiren Daishonin
is the correct course of life.
By putting what we have learned 
in Buddhist study into practice 
in our daily struggles,
let's become people of wisdom!

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"As many of you know, Nichikan Shonin (1665-1726) wrote: 'If you have faith in this Gohonzon and chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo even for a short while, no prayer will go on unanswered, no offense unexpiated, no good fortune unbestowed and no righteousness unproven.'* All people can benefit equally from this tremendous power of the Gohonzon. The key is courageous faith. We need courage in everything we set out to do, from gongyo to talking with people about Buddhism."

The New Human Revolution, Vol. 28, Songs of Kosen-rufu, 54, translation released October 2022. 

* Translated from Japanese. Nichikan, Kanjin no Honzon sho Mondan (Commentary on "The Object of Devotion for Observing the Mind") in Nichkan Shonin Mondan-shu (The Commentaries of Nichikan Shonin), Tokyo Seikyo Shinbunsha, 1980), p. 443.
