-- TO MY FRIENDS --
To all of our wonderful and noble women of Soka
who live out each day of their lives wholeheartedly for the sake of the
Mystic Law --
-- your noble spirit and actions deserve the highest respect and admiration.
With great pride and confidence in all the actions you take,
may you engage in wonderful conversations that expand like waves,
inspiring hope and joy in the lives of all those you meet!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"This saha world is a land in which one gains the way through the faculty of
hearing."

(The Doctrine of Three Thousand Realms - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin,
Vol. 2, page 87)
Selection source: President Ikeda's speech commemorating the 3rd anniversary
of the opening of the Soka Women's Kaikan - part 4, covered in the Seikyo
Shimbun of June 10th, 2009.

Thursday, June 11th, 2009
---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
" I know that you are forced to practise your faith under very trying
circumstances... But a true champion is able to stand up alone. Please do
that, developing yourselves, and win the respect and trust of all, offering
proof of your personal victory where you are.

"As Nichiren Daishonin writes: 'Only by defeating a powerful enemy can one
prove one's real strength' (WND-1, 302). Only by triumphing over adversity
can one become a champion.

"...Just as a ship overcomes the crashing waves of a rough sea, I hope that
all of you, with the awareness of being the captains of the ship of
kosen-rufu, will overcome the tumultuous waves of life."
