-- TO MY FRIENDS --

Our daimoku and activities 

for the sake of kosen-rufu

are the ultimate memorial

to our deceased 

relatives and ancestors;

eternal boundless benefit 

will envelop our family,

loved ones and close friends.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---

Although I and my disciples may encounter various difficulties, if we do not harbour doubts in our hearts, we will as a matter of course attain Buddhahood.

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----

"The Daishonin declares: 'Great evil portends the arrival of great good. If all of Jambudvipa [the entire world] were to be thrown into chaos, there could be no doubt that [the Lotus Sutra would] "be widely propagated throughout Jambudvipa" [LSOC 28, 363]' (WND–1, 1122).

"We are living in increasingly turbulent times, marked by the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic and instability worldwide. In spite of, or rather, precisely because of this, let us translate compassion into courageous action to 'remove suffering and impart joy' as we continue striving steadily in the places of our mission to engage in Buddhist dialogue, the direct path to happiness for ourselves and others." 

Our Brilliant Human Revolution, Engage in Lively Discussion and Spirited Dialogue, from 26th October, 2022 issue of Seikyo Newspaper, translation released February 2023
