-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Summer--it really is the best time for us to develop
ourselves.
Let's never forget our starting point,
"What all of our effort and struggles are for."
It is by challenging ourselves for new things
that we will achieve a new victory.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Life is limited; we must not begrudge it. What we should
ultimately aspire to is the Buddha land."

(Aspiration for the Buddha Land - The Writings of Nichiren
Daishonin, Vol.1, page 214) Selection source: "Kyo no
Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, August 5th, 2008

Wednesday, August 6th, 2008
---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
Mr. Toda warmly encouraged members who were facing various
problems in life, such as business difficulties, financial
worries, illness, and family discord. He said:
"Nichiren Daishonin overcame every obstacle. This is
actual proof of the power of faith. You have the Gohonzon.
You have the strategy of faith. Live as a spiritual
champion. You'll definitely be able to find a wonderful
solution beyond anything you've imagined. Faith that is
not defeated by any adversity is what enables us to build
a citadel of eternal happiness."

SGI Newsletter No. 7584, SGI President Ikeda's Editorial.
Translated from the August 2008 issue of Daibyakurenge,
the Soka Gakkai monthly study journal.
