-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let us not allow "the right time" to escape us.
Taking focused and resolute action towards our goal,
let us grasp our chance to win!
When we use every single day meaningfully
we can dramatically turn even the toughest situation around!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Although I and my disciple may encounter various difficulties, if we do not harbor doubts in our hearts, we will as a matter of course attain Buddhahood."

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
Perhaps it is natural for people to be drawn to bright lights and glamour. It is often thought that fame makes a person somehow special, and those with high social status are often regarded as great. But that is a shallow, deluded way of thinking.
Each one of you is the most precious treasure of all. Happiness does not exist outside of you. There is nothing more wonderful than you are. This is what Buddhism teaches. A genuine, meaningful philosophy enables us to bring the most precious treasure that is our life to shine brilliantly.
(SGI Newsletter No. 7830, SGI President Ikeda's Speech, Young Women's Division Commemorative Gathering, Part 2 of 5. Translated August 4th, 2009)
