-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's try to connect closely, heart-to-heart, with others by being as
compassionate and sincere as we can.
Giving encouragement to one another,
especially when we are right in the midst of hardship,
is true friendship.
Let's develop the type of bonds of trust and friendship
that can never be destroyed, no matter what happens.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"In all worldly affairs, it is the son's duty to obey his parents, yet on the path to Buddhahood, disobeying one's parents ultimately constitutes filial piety."
(Letter to the Brothers - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 499)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"If my successors stand up and strive with the same kind of determination, the Soka Gakkai will never be defeated, our ever-victorious citadel will not fall.

"Now is the time for us to make fresh strides forwards. Let's foster the growth and development of capable individuals. Let's do our utmost to support and encourage our younger members so that they can each shine in their own unique way, so that a new generation of talented individuals has the chance to freely demonstrate their
abilities and potential."
