-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Good friends* are priceless treasures.
It's important to seek out reliable seniors
and fellow members in faith and practice
whom we can frankly consult with about anything.
By chanting together and encouraging each other,
let's make great advancement as the Soka family!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Although at present we are encountering the severe trials of persecution, in our next life we will become Buddhas. Our present tribulations are like moxibustion; at the time, it is painful, but because it has beneficial after-effects, the pain is not really pain."

(On Persecutions Befalling the Sage - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 998) Selection source:
"Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, January 30th, 2010

Sunday, January 31st, 2010
---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Both life and Buddhism are concerned with winning. Each day and each year are decisive. We must emerge victorious through all that happens. Faith in the Mystic Law is the key to absolute victory. By employing the 'strategy of the Lotus Sutra'--chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo--let's triumph in the crucial struggles of this 80th-anniversary year!"
