-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The SGI is the world's leading religious community
of courageous lion kings.
Let's talk with pride and confidence about what we believe
is true and righteous for world peace and people's happiness.
Let's create a tidal wave of 'courageous dialogue' among
people all around the world.
* "From the standpoint of the Mystic Law, everyone is equal. And for
individuals and the nation to achieve prosperity and happiness, there is no
other way but to make the True Law our foundation. To achieve this, it is
our mission to accomplish kosen-rufu without fail.'"
"The Soka Gakkai is the king of the religious world. We are afraid of
nothing. Never forget that you are heirs to this legacy. I want you to fight
and advance bravely, as valiant young warriors, in the proud battle to
spread the Law."
(The Human Revolution, Volume 12, "Successors" chapter)

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Regard your service to your lord as the practice of the Lotus Sutra. This
is what is meant by 'No worldly affairs of life or work are ever contrary to
the true reality.'"
(Reply to a Believer - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 905)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"A Buddhist text states: 'As practice progresses and understanding grows,
the three obstacles and four devils emerge in confusing form, vying with one
another to interfere...One should be neither influenced nor frightened by
them' (WND-1, 501). Devilish forces arise in the most troublesome and
confusing of forms, but if we can see them for what they are, we can defeat
them. If we courageously face them head-on, they will retreat. Then we can
experience a bright, clear, expansive life-state resembling the blue skies
after a storm.
"One of my favourite Brazilian sayings goes to the effect: 'The greatest
trials inspire the greatest courage."
