-- TO MY FRIENDS --

The more often

 we open the gosho

the more we can develop 

 our life condition

and manifest the power and strength 

to advance.

Let's use this summer 

as an opportunity

to seek out and learn about 

Nichiren Daishonin's spirit 

and grow even more

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The Daishonin revealed the great Law for vanquishing the fundamental ignorance residing in the human heart. Amid life-threatening persecution, he strove to spread the correct teaching in the Latter Day of the Law by speaking out courageously through the power of the written and spoken word and the power of dialogue. His focus was always on the happiness of each individual and respect for life. It was on bringing peace to the land by establishing the correct teaching that is, on creating a secure and peaceful world."

The Buddhism of the Sun—Illuminating the World, [89] A People-Centred Religion—Transmitting the Philosophy of Respect for Life to the Future, Vanquishing the Ignorance That Resides in the Human Heart, from the Daibyakurenge, Soka Gakkai monthly study journal, September 2022, translation released June 2023
