-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Hooray to all of our noble and esteemed fellow SGI members!
I put my palms together in the utmost appreciation and respect
for everyone's selfless dedicated and painstaking efforts.
I pray for glory and victory for all our members
who share both the good times and the bad times
and who strive together to achieve kosen-rufu.

--- 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."
(The Heritage of the Ultimate Law of Life - The Writings
of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 216) Selection source:

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Different times in life require different responses. There are times when
we'll need to wisely save our energy. There are times when we'll need to
strive with all our dedication and sincerity. There are times when we'll
need to rest to prevent exhaustion. I hope you will always proceed with
wisdom. But no matter what the situation, never lose sight of kosen-rufu and
the path of faith--promise me that. I'm counting on you!
"When we challenge ourselves in trying times, we can accumulate tremendous
benefit. Benefit is manifested in many different ways. Sometimes undergoing
a trial that seems more like punishment opens the way to happiness. It's
like surgery or an injection--they may hurt, but they can restore your
health. Even in the most desperate of circumstances, if we challenge
ourselves through strong faith, we can gain true great benefit. This is the
profound teaching of the Daishonin."
