Passing on our faith and practice

and further on,
is the very foundation 

of family prosperity and
the sure path to the 

everlasting movement of kosen-rufu.
Let's all work together

-- DAILY GOSHO --
"When a nation becomes disordered, it is the spirits that first show signs of rampancy. Because the spirits become rampant, all the people of the nation become disordered."

(On Establishing the Correct Teaching 

for the Peace of the Land 

- WND, Vol. 1, page 24)
Selection Source: Ikeda Sensei's essay,

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"When we chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo with a vow to expand our movement for kosen-rufu and reach out to others in courageous and hope-filled dialogue, our lives embody the life state of Buddhahood. Therefore, no matter what obstacles or devilish functions may assail us, we can definitely transform any karma. We will never be defeated. We will attain an unshakable life state that nothing can undermine or destroy."

From Our Brilliant Human Revolution, Advancing Together as World Citizens, Spreading Hope and Encouragement to Create a Future of Peace, June 27th, 2023, Seikyo Newspaper, translated October 2023
