-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Nichiren Daishonin states,
"All your virtuous acts will
implant benefits
and roots of goodness
in your life."*
All of the actions that we take
All of the actions that we take
for the sake of kosen-rufu
will, no doubt, adorn our lives
with benefit and good fortune
Now, ever more than ever,
let's strengthen our faith
let's strengthen our faith
and achieve triumphant victories!
*"Whether you chant the Buddha's name, recite the sutra, or merely offer flowers and incense, all your virtuous acts will implant benefits and roots of goodness in your life. With this conviction you should strive in faith."

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
The Daishonin warns against the grave offence of causing disunity: 'If any of Nichiren's disciples disrupt the unity of many in body but one in mind, they would be like warriors who destroy their own castle from within' (WND–1, 217).

"External enemies will search for a breach in unity. They will try to drive a wedge between mentor and disciples and foment discord among members. That's why maintaining unclad unity that leaves no space for devilish functions to take advantage protects the members and enables the great development of kosen-rufu."
