-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The development of good relations with others relies on
the words and actions that come from our hearts.
By showing our utmost sincerity and integrity,
let's become people who can successfully establish friendly
relations with others
and represent what the SGI movement is all about.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"The people of today all turn their backs upon what is
right; to a person, they give their allegiance to evil.
This is the reason that the benevolent deities have
abandoned the nation and departed together, that sages
leave and do not return. And in their stead devils and
demons come, and disasters and calamities occur. I cannot
keep silent on this matter. I cannot suppress my fears."
(On Establishing the Correct Teaching for the Peace of the
Land - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 7)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
""Once you take the first step, overcoming each difficulty that arises is an
easy matter.' These are the confident words of Madame Xie Bingxin (1900-99;
commonly known by her pen name Bing Xin), a great Chinese writer with whom
my wife and I enjoyed an unforgettable friendship. She wrote this in a
letter one January during a period that was fraught with hardship and
adversity.
"In this Year of Youth and Victory, let us take action with a youthful and
courageous spirit, one step after another. Let us keep pressing
energetically forward, ever forward, towards a glorious golden victory."
