Thursday, June 3rd, 2010
-- TO MY FRIENDS --
On our way to and from Gakkai meetings and activities
let's be extra careful not to lose our balance or trip over,
or to meet with any kind of traffic accident!
Let's always look out for each other,
warmly reminding each other to take care and to make sure that,
together,
we all remain absolutely safe and free from any form of accident.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Bring forth the great power of faith, and be spoken of by all the people of Kamakura, both high and low, or by all the people of Japan, as 'Shijo Kingo, Shijo Kingo of the Lotus school!'"

(Earthly Desires Are Enlightenment - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 319)
Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, June 3rd, 2010

Friday, June 4th, 2010
---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"...the important thing is to have a stand-alone spirit. When Mr. Toda was inaugurated as the second president of the Soka Gakkai, he vowed that he would personally take on the task of kosen-rufu. Rather than relying on others, we each need to stand up decisively and begin with taking action ourselves.

"Mr. Toda offered the following well-known guidance to the members of the youth division, when it had grown to approximately 20,000 members: 'It just takes one person--one person standing alone. Anything can be accomplished when one person rises to action with a solid, self-reliant commitment."
