-- TO MY FRIENDS --
A whole new era in history begins when one individual makes
the earnest single-minded determination to do something.
"My prayers will never go unanswered!"
With such strong conviction,
let's boldly advance along the great path to happiness and victory.

"A woman who embraces the lion king of the Lotus Sutra
never fears any of the beasts of hell or of the realms of
hungry spirits and animals."
(The Drum at the Gate of Thunder - The Writings of
Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 949) Selection source: SGI

Nichiren Daishonin and the Mentor-Disciple Relationship",

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"This same spirit displayed by the Daishonin is evident in our Soka Gakkai
members who are holding planning meetings in earnest preparation for their
upcoming discussion meetings. Accordingly, they will enjoy great benefit and
the protection of the positive functions of the universe. I am certain that
the Daishonin would especially praise those who offer their homes for
discussion meetings. They are assured of gaining boundless and immeasurable
benefit.
"Discussion meetings are noble gatherings that can be likened to the
ceremony held on Eagle Peak described in the Lotus Sutra. Never forget to
express utmost appreciation for those who make their homes available for
meetings. Always be polite, show consideration for the neighbours, and take
care not to make a mess.
"'Citadels of Soka,
where Bodhisattvas of the Earth
assemble
in accord with the Buddha's decree,
will flourish forever.'"
