-- TO MY FRIENDS --
It's right in our local community that we can
make a contribution to making the world a better place.
Try to make contact with someone living close by
and, at the same time, help them to understand what our movement is about.
Let's gain people's trust, step by step, and cheerfully create
good human relations in the local community!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Nevertheless, even though you chant and believe in
Myoho-renge-kyo, if you think the Law is outside yourself,
you are embracing not the Mystic Law but an inferior teaching."

(On Attaining Buddhahood in This Lifetime - The Writings
of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 3) Selection source:
SGI-Dominican Republic member's experience, Seikyo

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Nichiren Daishonin writes: '[Chanting] Nam-myoho-renge-kyo with the spirit
of many in body but one in mind...is the basis for the universal
transmission of the ultimate Law of life and death' (WND-1, 217). The true
heritage of Buddhism pulses in united efforts to advance kosen-rufu."
