-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Daishonin encourages us:
"Diligently polish your mirror 

    day and night."*
The daily practice of chanting 

earnest focused daimoku 

forges a strong self.
Let's continue to have 

a consistent steadfast practice!

*"Arouse deep faith, and diligently polish your mirror day and night. How should you polish it? Only by chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo." - 

"On Attaining Buddhahood 

in This Lifetime"
