-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Don't wait for the right time to happen.
Create it!
One person earnest and single-minded in their efforts,
unconcerned about what others might think of them,
can transform the whole atmosphere of a situation, for the better.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"In this defiled age, you should always talk together and
never cease to pray for your next life."

(The Votary of the Lotus Sutra Will Meet Persecution - The
Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 449) Selection
source: SGI President Ikeda's essay, Seikyo Shimbun,
February 22nd,

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Though at times we may find ourselves in a temporary setback, what counts
is winning in the end. The strategy of the Lotus Sutra is what enables us to
do that. When things look darkest, that is the best time for us to 'change
poison into medicine' -- transforming the negative into something
positive--and expand our life-condition."

of Daibyakurenge, translated Feb.17th 2009
