-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Living a life striving to achieve the greatest of ideals
is the happiest!
All of our dearest youth,
climb a new range of lofty mountains for kosen-rufu
proudly, determinedly and with dignity!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Now I am neither a resident of the capital, the centre of the country, nor the son of a general on the frontiers. I am merely the son of a commoner from a remote province."

(Letter to the Lay Priest Nakaoki - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 1006) Selection source:
SGI President Ikeda's speech, Seikyo Shimbun, February 7th, 2010

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"In the latter part of the writing, 'The Three Kinds of Treasure,' the Daishonin teaches that 'the treasures of the heart are the most important of all' (WND-1, 851). The ultimate treasure in terms of achieving genuine victory in life is our Buddha nature manifesting from within through faith in the Mystic Law. This is a crucial teaching of which we must never lose sight."
