-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Nichiren Buddhism, the Buddhism of the sun,
has now spread to 192 different countries and
territories all over the world.
We are victorious!
The SGI's solidarity has successfully expanded
precisely because of our courage based on the spirit of
oneness of mentor and disciple.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"... when one practises the Lotus Sutra under such circumstance, difficulties will arise, and these are to be looked on as 'peaceful' practices."

(Ongi kuden - Gosho Zenshu, page 750, The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings, page 115)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Naturally, selfless dedication to propagating the Law in the Daishonin's Buddhism in no way indicates a feudalistic spirit of self-annihilation or self-sacrifice for the sake of some greater public good. The purpose of Buddhism is to help all people attain genuine happiness and thereby transform the karma of humankind. On an individual level, by sharing the Mystic Law with others we can change our own karma and fundamentally transform our state of life. Such efforts represent the surest and most direct path to realising happiness for both ourselves and others."
