-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Our inner strength is the basis of our happiness.
First and foremost it's important to conquer our own personal weaknesses.
When we start to do this the momentum,
like nothing can stand in our way towards victory and success,
is instantly created.*
Let's advance with pride and dignity!

*"The situation is like the joints in a piece of bamboo:
if one joint is ruptured, then all the joints will split."
- "Letter to Horen", WND-I, page 512

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Whatever trouble occurs, regard it as no more than a
dream, and think only of the Lotus Sutra."

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The most essential thing is our day-to-day Gakkai activities, which require
earnest, painstaking efforts behind the scenes. And it is in insuring that
each member experiences real joy through their practice, gains trust in
their communities and workplaces, and wins in life. That's the real purpose
of our movement."
