-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Those who have strong faith and conviction are always
cheerful and positive no matter what kind of situation
they are in.
Let's remember to express how much we respect and how grateful we are to
our mothers, who dispel our fears and bolster our confidence
with the strength of their wonderful smiles.

"A single character of the Lotus Sutra is like the great earth, which gives
rise to all things. A single character is like the great ocean, which
contains the water from all rivers. A single character is like the sun and
moon, which illuminates all four continents."
(Reply to Onichi-nyo - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin,
Vol.1, page 1089) Selection source: SGI President Ikeda's
message, Seikyo Shimbun, February 27th, 2009

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"There is no Buddhist organisation comparable to ours in all the world, none
with a network so vast and far-reaching and so dedicated to spreading the
light of peace, culture, and education for the happiness of all humankind.
Many leading figures around the globe are observing the activities of the
SGI with the highest hopes. All of you have a much bigger mission than you
think. We have entered an amazing age.
"I was able to build the Soka Gakkai into the organisation it is today
because I devoted myself to its construction with unceasing effort and
selfless resolve, braving every storm along the way. I hope that our younger
members will not take for granted the fortunate circumstances our
organisation enjoys today.
"Please do not become foolish people who are arrogant and self-conceited or
who are lazy and remiss, leaving all the hard work to others."
