-- TO MY FRIENDS --
A correct way of life begins by having a correct philosophy of life.
The SGI movement is based precisely
on the Writings of Nichiren Daishonin.
Let's study the teachings of the Daishonin together
and build an unshakable foundation for our lives.

"There should be no discrimination among those who propagate the five characters of Myoho-renge-kyo in the Latter Day of the Law, be they men or women. Were they not Bodhisattvas of the Earth, they could not chant the daimoku."
(The True Aspect of All Phenomena - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 385) Selection source:

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Mr. Makiguchi stated sternly: 'The misguided belief that it's okay to behave badly or unethically as long as one isn't breaking the law is the cause of many of the ills afflicting society today and, as a result, self-righteous hypocrites abound.' Acting selfishly without thinking about the consequences for others, or doing whatever one pleases as long as one doesn't get caught--such egotism and corruption are rife in society today. Viewed in this light, the altruistic actions of Soka Gakkai members, on a par with the actions of Buddhas and bodhisattvas, are indescribably noble. And that's precisely why we are the targets of envy and abuse.
"Mr. Toda declared: 'The Soka Gakkai is the most joyful and harmonious realm in the entire universe. We must not allow devilish functions to harm it.'"
