-- TO MY FRIENDS --
To all of the cleaning group members in our SGI centres and other meeting places,
thank you so much for all your hard work throughout this year!
Thanks to your beautiful heart and noble dedication towards keeping
our community centres like great treasure houses,
it is certain that your life will be adorned
with immeasurable good fortune and the benefits of the Mystic Law.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Hence the character myo means to open. If there is a storehouse full of treasures but no key, then it cannot be opened, and if it cannot be opened, then the treasures inside cannot be seen."

(The Daimoku of the Lotus Sutra - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 145) Selection source: Living Buddhism, Seikyo Shimbun, December 20th, 2009

Monday, December 21st, 2009
---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Our one aspiration
in this existence
is the inner transformation
that orients one's life to victory
throughout eternity.

"Human revolution doesn't mean becoming some kind of superbeing. Rather, it is a process in which we strive to profoundly and dynamically transform the inner dimension of our lives, while remaining ordinary people who have to grapple with many challenges and problems amid the harsh realities of daily existence."

SGI Newsletter No. 7894, Human Revolution--The Quintessential Path of Life, from the January 2010 issue of Daibyakurenge, translated Dec. 17th, 2009
