--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"The 'Encouragement' chapter says, '[If you see a person who accepts and upholds this sutra], you should rise and greet him from afar, showing him the same respect you would a Buddha.'"

(On the Importance of the "Expedient Means" and "Life Span" Chapters - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.2, page 749) Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, October 24th, 2009

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Fighting for truth and justice through the written word, in the form of serialised novels and other genres and media, is a continuous struggle. The great novelist Alexandre Dumas (1802-70) had one of his characters declare: 'I must go on to the end. I have a partiality for fighting against prejudice. Either it will crush me, or I will destroy it.' One must keep writing until prejudice and hypocrisy are defeated and truth and justice are soundly established. This is the essence of the struggle for truth through words."

SGI Newsletter No. 7879, MY IMPRESSIONS OF GREAT FIGURES IN HISTORY, Alexandre Dumas, from the May 26th, 2009, issue of the Seikyo Shinbun, translated Oct. 22nd, 2009.
