A translation of President Ikeda's "To My Friends" published in the Seikyo
Shimbun and more.

-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The activities of the SGI can be said to be the "good among all good"*
Let us consider ourselves really fortunate to be members of such an
organization (dedicated to world peace)
Let us never pause in our efforts to advance proudly and confidently,
on our great mission towards achieving world wide kosen-rufu!

* The phrase "greatest good among good" appears in "On Offerings for
Deceased Ancestors", WND-1, page 820.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Each of you should summon up the courage of a lion king and never succumb
to threats from anyone."

(On Persecutions Befalling the Sage - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin,
Vol. 1, page 997)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"It has been one of history's great tragedies that people, failing to
recognise the enormous power they possess, have often been subjugated, or
divided and set against one another. In contrast, the mentor-disciple
relationship of the Soka Gakkai is dedicated to inspiring, uniting, and
guiding people in a positive direction. There is no more lofty human bond
than that shared by mentor and disciple.

"My mentor, second Soka Gakkai president Josei Toda, encouraged members who
were facing adversity: 'You should be proud that you possess within yourself
the same life-state as Nichiren Daishonin. Maintain a noble spirit and
triumph in life. Never belittle yourself.'"

December 2008 issue of the Daibyakurenge, translated Nov. 25th, 2008
