-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The harder the struggle,
the more important it is to remember to try to smile!
From the midst of bright and cheerful laughter
emerges the strength and ability to win.
Embrace the sun that lies within your heart!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"There is no true happiness other than upholding faith in the Lotus Sutra. This is what is meant by 'peace and security in their present existence and good circumstances in future existences.' Though worldly troubles may arise, never let them disturb you."

(Happiness in This World - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol. 1, page 681)
Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, April 15th, 2010

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The Austrian thinker Count Richard Coudenhove-Kalergi (1894-1972), with whom I held a dialogue, declared: 'One actual step forwards is worth more than a thousand imagined steps.' Courageously taking that first step forwards in the place where you are right now is critical. Everything starts from there."

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
