-- TO MY FRIENDS --
My deepest appreciation and gratitude goes out to all of you
who wholeheartedly champion and support the Seikyo Shimbun
and all our other SGI publications!
May fearless words and courageous stories for the sake of peace,
originating from the castle of mentor and disciple,
echo far and wide, like the great roar of a lion!
Let us shine a great light of hope and courage
(to the people of the world)!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"The purpose of the appearance in this world of Shakyamuni Buddha, the lord of teachings, lies in his behaviour as a human being."
(The Three Kinds of Treasure - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 852)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Pursuing Buddhist learning that has practical relevance, enabling us to show proof of our practice in society by basing our lives on the Gosho, is the spirit of the Soka Gakkai.
"In the diary I kept during my youth, I wrote: 'No matter how high our leadership positions, if we fail to study seriously, we will be left behind.... The Daishonin's words, 'Exert yourself in the two ways of practice and study' [WND-1, 386], apply equally to everyone. No one is an exception.' When we lose our seeking spirit towards Buddhist learning, we open the door for arrogance to creep into our lives.
