Thursday, January 7th, 2010
-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's achieve victories
comparable to Japan's highest mountain, Mt. Fuji!
Let's strive together to establish
the type of solidarity movement for peace
that the entire world admires and looks up to.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"And yet, though one might point at the earth and miss it, though one might bind up the sky, though the tides might cease to ebb and flow and the sun rise in the west, it could never come about that the prayers of the practitioner of the Lotus Sutra would go unanswered."

(On Prayer - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 345)
Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, Jan. 7th, 2010

Friday, January 8th, 2010
---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"There are still many challenges facing humankind, but the key to solving all our problems--whether it be building a secure and lasting peace, protecting our environment, or overcoming economic difficulties--is to cast off apathy and preconceived notions that lead us to view a situation as unsolvable or unavoidable. It is my firm belief that problems caused by human beings can be solved by human beings."

SGI Newsletter No. 7905, New Year's Message, Creating a Century of Life, a Century of Peace, translated Jan. 4th, 2010
