-- TO MY FRIENDS --
It is only when we speak up about what is the truth and say what must be
said
that we can really experience true victory.
The history of Soka stands as a shining example of this fact!
The Gosho says: "The lion king fears no other beast, nor do its cubs."*
Let's speak out fearlessly and courageously like the roar of a lion.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"What can we say, then, of persons who are devoting themselves to Buddhism?
Surely they should not forget the debts of gratitude they owe to their
parents, their teachers, and their country."
(On Repaying Debts of Gratitude - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1,
page 690)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Practising this Buddhism doesn't mean that our lives will always be smooth.
Life is a series of ups and downs, challenges and adversity. We should
expect to encounter suffering, hardship, and sadness. At such times, we
should chant with all our might. If we do, in the light of the teachings of
Buddhism, we are certain to be able to break through those difficulties. As
we repeat this process throughout our lives, and continue to strive for
kosen-rufu, we'll achieve our human revolution and build a life-state of
absolute happiness. That's the path of faith. So no matter what happens,
never stray from faith."
