-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Now, let's start off on a really happy and vibrant note!
Courageously and cheerfully,
let's all advance together.
Let's stride along the correct path (for the sake of
people's happiness and a world that is at peace) with a bright and
cheerful spirit.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"You must be firmly resolved. Do not begrudge your fief;
do not think of your wife and children. And do not depend
on others. You must simply make up your mind."
(Reply to Yasaburo - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin,
Vol.1, page 829) Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin",

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The 28th and final chapter of the Lotus Sutra is titled 'Encouragements of
the Bodhisattva Universal Worthy' (Jpn. Fugen Bosatsu Kambotsu Hon). Here,
the expression 'encouragements' (kambotsu) is written with two Chinese
characters meaning 'to recommend' and 'to inspire.' We can interpret this to
refer to recommending the Mystic Law to others and inspiring them to take
faith in it. The Lotus Sutra thus concludes with encouragement.
"Encouragement is the starting point of our Soka movement. That is why our
movement is so positive and upbeat. Encouragement based on the Mystic Law is
the driving force for ongoing victory."
SGI Newsletter No. 7636, Encouragement Rouses Us to Win in Life, from the
October 2008 issue of Daibyakurenge, the Soka Gakkai monthly study journal,
translated Sep. 26th, 2008
