Sunday, January 31st, 2010
-- TO MY FRIENDS --
What's important is that we make every effort to win today.
What's important is that we make every effort to win now.
From the very moment we make such a determination,
the path towards a new stage in our lives begins to unfold.
Let's all write a new drama in our human revolutions.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"But just as a high wind creates great waves, or a powerful dragon brings forth torrential rains, so my admonitions called forth increasing animosity."

(The Actions of the Votary of the Lotus Sutra - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 764) Selection source: SGI President Ikeda's speech, Seikyo Shimbun, January 31st, 2010

Monday, February 1st, 2010
---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The lives of all of you who chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo and exert yourselves for kosen-rufu are infinitely noble and respectworthy. You have as yet tapped only a fraction of the boundless power of Buddhahood you possess, and revealed only a tiny portion of your limitless Buddha wisdom.

"This 80th-anniversary year is a time for each of us to freely and unstintingly manifest our Buddhahood. There's nothing to hold us back. Let's allow the eighty characteristics of a Buddha to shine forth from our lives with their full untrammelled brilliance."
