-- TO MY FRIENDS --
To all of our young lions, successors of the SGI -- may you stand up boldly
and resolutely on the noble path to accomplishing kosen-rufu!
With the enthusiasm and life force that burns passionately for the sake of
truth and justice,
may you realise a glorious history of the victory of the spirit of mentor
and disciple!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"A blue fly, if it clings to the tail of a thoroughbred horse, can travel
ten thousand miles, and the green ivy that twines around the tall pine can
grow to a thousand feet."

(On Establishing the Correct Teaching for the Peace of the
Land - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 17)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"If everyone is ruled by self-interest and selfishness, the community and
society will fall apart. Soka Gakkai members are dedicated to overcoming the
negative forces that seek to divide us from each other and building a
beautiful world of mutual encouragement and support. Unity is positive;
divisiveness is destructive. The power of people united can dispel the
darkness of selfishness that prevails in our world today and bring the light
of peace and happiness to our communities, societies, and the world."

Hanshin Earthquake--Fourteen Years Later, from the Jan. 17th, 2009, issue of
