-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Daishonin encourages us,
"Those resolved to seek the way should gather (and listen
to the contents of this letter)."*
To our wonderful Soka family,
who continually gather to discuss and encourage each other, hurrah!
Let's all advance along this certain course of happiness together!

*"Letter from Teradomari" - WND-I, page 206

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"And yet, though one might point at the earth and miss it, though one might bind up the sky, though the tides might cease to ebb and flow and the sun rise in the west, it could never come about that the prayers of the practitioner of the Lotus Sutra would go unanswered."

(On Prayer - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 345) Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, October 17th, 2009
