-- TO MY FRIENDS --
To my beloved members of Kansai:
(It is my great hope) that you will construct the world's finest castle symbolizing the ever victorious Kansai spirit of the oneness of mentor and disciple!*
Those who practice faith strongly and wholeheartedly,
without begrudging their lives,
will, when all is finished, be the triumphant victors!
Stand up indomitably with the spirit of a roaring lion!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Although I and my disciples may encounter various difficulties, if we do not harbour doubts in our hearts, we will as a matter of course attain Buddhahood."

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Sincerity touches the hearts of others. Sometimes a few simple, encouraging words can sustain a person throughout their life. That is why it's so important for leaders to offer unstinting encouragement to their members.
"When I would travel between Tokyo and Osaka, often by night train, I would use that time to write postcards that I would send to encourage members. In those days, we didn't have cell phones or e-mail! If you use your minds and imaginations...you can find any number of ways to encourage others."
SGI Newsletter No. 7978, YOUTH AND THE WRITINGS OF NICHIREN DAISHONIN, Work and Faith--Part 2 [of 2], from the Feb. 18th, 2010, issue of the Seikyo Shimbun, translated April 12th, 2010
