-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Daishonin states,
"The prayers offered by a 

practitioner of the Lotus Sutra
will be answered just as 

an echo answers a sound."*
The daimoku we chant 

with conviction and a vow 

will always manifest as actual proof.
Let's all advance 

by chanting daimoku 

like that of a roaring lion!

*"On Prayer" (WND, Vol.1, page 340)

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"If in a single moment of life we exhaust the pains and trials of millions of kalpas, then instant after instant there will arise in us the three Buddha bodies with which we are eternally endowed. Nam-myoho-renge-kyo is just such a 'diligent' practice."

"Who will ring the bells of victory in life and kosen-rufu? You must resolve that you will be the ones.

"First, you need to engage in your human revolution and do your utmost to ensure that your families, Soka Gakkai districts and your wider communities thrive and prosper. I hope you will cherish great aspirations, set concrete goals and challenge yourselves to achieve them one by one with joy and perseverance."
