A translation of President Ikeda's "To My Friends" published in the Seikyo Shimbun and more.

-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Along the path of youth,
there is naturally a constant series of worries and challenges,
one after another.
But my dear precious young friends,
don't you ever be discouraged, no matter what happens, and
never ever give up!
On the earth that is nourished with your fortitude and perseverance,
your flower of victory and success will most certainly blossom!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"The first shi of the word shishi, or 'lion' [which means
'teacher'], is the Wonderful Law that is passed on by the
teacher. The second shi [which means 'child'] is the
Wonderful Law as it is received by the disciples. The
'roar' is the sound of the teacher and disciples chanting
in unison. The verb sa, 'to make' or 'to roar,' should
here be understood to mean to initiate or to put forth.
It refers to the initiating of Nam-myoho-renge-kyo in the
Latter Day of the Law.

Orally Transmitted Teachings, page 111) Selection source:

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The capacity to improvise in response to circumstances is crucial, not only in education, but in all matters. It is difficult to make progress based on a paint-by-numbers approach. Adapting to conditions is critical; adaptability is the product of wisdom and a sense of responsibility."

SGI Newsletter No. 7913, The New Human Revolution--Vol. 23: Chap. 1, The Future 23, translated Jan. 15th, 2010
