-- TO MY FRIENDS --
For all people's happiness and success -- this is our sincere
desire and what we pray for.
With strong faith in that we are all different in body but
perfectly united in mind towards achieving our purpose,
let's strive together to overcome all obstacles that
obstruct our advancement no matter how challenging they
may be.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"It must be ties of karma from the distant past that have
destined you to become my disciple at a time like this.
Shakyamuni and Many Treasures certainly realised this
truth. The sutra's statement, 'Those persons who had
heard the Law dwelled here and there in various Buddha
lands, constantly reborn in company with their teachers,'
cannot be false in any way."

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"My mentor, second Soka Gakkai president Josei Toda, often said: 'Human
revolution means continually progressing and developing a happy life. It
means becoming happy ourselves and helping others do the same.' Buddhism
exists for the happiness of all people. The happiness that Buddhism urges us
to obtain is not derived from vanity or outward appearances. Rather, it is
an indestructible state of absolute happiness realised by allowing the
brilliant sunlight of our noble Buddha nature to shine forth and the lotus
flower of the Mystic Law to bloom fully in our lives. All of you epitomise
this vibrant state of life."
