-- TO MY FRIENDS --

"You're not alone,"
"I'm always here for you,"

Let's put the thoughts in our hearts 

into actual words!

Let's build families and communities

that are bound by warm bonds!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---

I am praying that, no matter how troubled the times may become, the Lotus Sutra and the ten demon daughters will protect all of you, praying as earnestly as though to produce fire from damp wood, or to obtain water from parched ground.

and Eradicating Sins

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----

"Being a well-rounded person is the defining quality of a genuine practitioner of Nichiren Buddhism. That's because Myoho-renge-kyo, the Mystic Law, encompasses everything: virtue, life force, passion, intelligence, good fortune, and philosophy."

From excerpts at the 33rd Soka Gakkai Headquarters Leaders Meeting, May 1st 1999 broadcasted during the recent Soka Gakkai Headquarters Leaders Meeting, May 3rd, 2023. From the May 23rd 2023 issue of Seikyo Newspaper, translation released August 2023.
