-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Those who live their lives by continually challenging themselves
will never encounter deadlock.
Aiming towards achieving our goals,
let's chant daimoku with specific details in mind
and challenge ourselves with courage and confidence!

--- 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 ----
"The path of study demands a firm resolution, a determined effort, and a powerful intellectual curiosity. Please remember that learning doesn't just happen without thorough effort.
"There's no point or meaning ...if it's just a matter of obtaining a diploma without having grown mentally and as a person through your studies. In contrast, someone who is really making an effort to learn shines with intelligence, perfects their character, and grows into a more fully realised individual.
"Working hard ...advancing with all your might, you are steadily acquiring learning and deepening yourselves as people. Therein lies the true way of human existence."
SGI Newsletter No. 7988, The New Human Revolution--Vol. 23: Chap. 2, Light of Learning 51, translated May 6th, 2010
