-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Nichiren Daishonin writes,
"Put into flames, 
a rock simply turns to ashes,
but gold becomes pure gold."*
Through challenging hardships,
we can achieve great growth.
Based on resolved faith and practice,
let's walk the great path 
of human revolution
confidently and with pride!

*"Letter to the Brothers" 
(WND, Vol.1, page 497)

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Nam-myoho-renge-kyo is like the roar of a lion. What sickness can therefore be an obstacle?"

(Reply to Kyō'ō 
- WND, Vol. 1, page 412)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
The Daishonin declared: 'At first only Nichiren Daishonin chanted Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, but then two, three and a hundred followed chanting and teaching others. Propagation will unfold this way in the future as well. Does this not signify "emerging from the Earth"?' (WND–1, 385).

"People with whom you share a profound karmic connection, who are ready to 'spring from the earth,'* are waiting for you to talk with them. They are waiting to hear your confident voices. I call on you now to joyously and magnificently demonstrate the principle of 'emerging from the earth' (WND–1, 385), for the happiness of others, a harmonious society and a peaceful world!"

* Line from an impromptu poem composed by Ikeda Sensei on August 14th, 1947, when he first met Josei Toda.
