-- TO MY FRIENDS --
"I will take the lead for kosen-rufu!"
Let's send encouragement
to those whom we are connected with
right here, and now!
The great solidarity of happiness
spreads from
one person's steady practice.

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"In a letter to the lay nun Myoshin, a practitioner of pure and steadfast faith, the Daishonin writes: 'This character myo [of myoho, the Mystic Law] is the moon, it is the sun, it is the stars, it is a mirror, it is garments, it is food, it is flowers, it is the great earth, it is the great sea. All benefits clustered together make up the character myo. Also, it is the wish-granting jewel' (WND-2, 879-80).
"All of you are world citizens and Bodhisattvas of the Earth who uphold and practice the supreme principle of 'three thousand realms in a single moment of life.' By chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo—the Mystic Law pervading life and the universe—let us strive to transform our own and others' life states and work together to lead global society to peace! Let us advance, together making our voices resound with warm encouragement and songs of unending victory in our communities and into the future!"
