-- TO MY FRIENDS --
It is right when we are in the midst of great hardship that
we can cultivate and develop ourselves and become even stronger.
No matter what kind of obstacles we might be facing now,
let's courageously and decisively challenge them, right where we are,
and achieve victory!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"If one lights a fire for others, one will brighten one's own way."

(On the Three Virtues of Food - The Writings of Nichiren
Daishonin, Vol.2, page 1060) Selection source: Soka Gakkai
member's experience, Seikyo Shimbun, May 29th, 2009

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"In order for a seedling to sink its roots deep into the soil and grow tall
and strong, it needs water and sunlight. Similarly, for Buddhist
practitioners to grow, the encouragement of fellow members is indispensable.
That's why the humanistic organisation of the Soka Gakkai, in which members
can encourage and inspire each other, is so important."
