-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Those who are earnest and sincere in all their efforts are the ones who will
be true victors!
Let us both, you and I, enthusiastically take on all challenges that come
our way
for the sake of kosen-rufu!
Let us aim towards achieving resounding victories,
and make each interaction we have with others
a decisive moment that builds the history of our movement!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"The Buddha wrote that one should become the master of one's mind rather
than let one's mind master oneself. This is what I mean when I emphatically
urge you to give up even your body, and never begrudge even your life for
the sake of the Lotus Sutra."

(Letter to Gijo-bo - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol. 1, page 390)
Selection source: "Kyo no hosshin", May 12, 2009

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Soka Gakkai activities serve as a springboard to human revolution. They
provide opportunities to challenge personal limitations--weakness, laziness,
lack of perseverance, timidity in the face of obstacles--and triumph over
them. The experience of overcoming limitations serves to polish, train, and
strengthen one's life."

SGI Newsletter No. 7769, The New Human Revolution--Vol. 22: Chap. 2,
Currents 51, translated May 11th, 2009
