-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's make every effort to get out and about and meet as many people as we
possibly can,
talking to them about our practice and creating an awareness and
understanding of the SGI.
It is through such actions, that the brilliance of our faith, dedicated to
the happiness of all people, can be seen and felt!
Let us become people of great wisdom who are forever making efforts to
advance joyfully.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"In the light of the above points, this shows, my followers, that you had
better cut short your sleep by night and curtail your leisure by day, and
ponder this! You must not spend your lives in vain and regret it for ten
thousand years to come."

(The Problem to Be Pondered Night and Day - The Writings of Nichiren
Daishonin, Vol.1, page 622)
Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, May 6th, 2009

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"When things don't go as you expect, you must not let yourselves be
defeated. Don't become discouraged. The struggles one goes through in one's
youth are a precious treasure. It is only by taking on the challenges of the
real world that you can build a deep, strong foundation for victory in life.
Though you may stumble along the way, just pick yourself up again, plant
your feet firmly on the ground, and make further powerful strides forward,
aiming even higher than before. An ancient Chinese text says: 'It is like
the case of a person who falls to the ground, but who then pushes himself up
from the ground and rises to his feet again' (WND-1, 1108)."
