-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's take the best possible care of all the places
where we hold our meetings and other activities.
Especially when we use a member's home,
let's make sure to show how much we appreciate their lending their homes
and let's be sure to be courteous to all their family members, too.
Also, never ever forget that our careful and considerate
behaviour around the neighbourhood of our activities is always very
important.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"It is said that, if a teacher has a good disciple, both will gain the fruit
of Buddhahood, but if a teacher fosters a bad disciple, both will fall into
hell. If teacher and disciple are of different minds, they will never
accomplish anything."

(Flowering and Bearing Grain - The Writings of Nichiren
Daishonin, Vol.1, page 909) Selection source: "Kyo no
Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, September 13th, 2008

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The essential focus of fostering youth in the Soka Gakkai starts with
encouraging young people to have a sense of personal mission for kosen-rufu,
the aim of which is the happiness of humanity and peace in the world. The
next step is to establish a network that provides mutual inspiration that
will encourage and spur growth toward these noble aims. As the 19th-century
Italian thinker Giuseppe Mazzini once declared: 'Youth lives on movement,
grows great in enthusiasm and faith. Consecrate them with a lofty mission;
inflame them with emulation and praise.'"
