-- TO MY FRIENDS --
We are ever so grateful to our "uncrowned heroes and heroines"*
who work so tirelessly for us,
even in the midst of the rainy season when it often pours.
It is only because of your selfless and noble efforts
that kosen-rufu has advanced to the great extent it has.
We will always be chanting for your safety and victory!
* The people who deliver the Seikyo newspaper and other SGI publications.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"It is said that, if a teacher has a good disciple, both will gain the fruit of Buddhahood, but if a teacher fosters a bad disciple, both will fall into hell. If teacher and disciple are of different minds, they will never accomplish anything."
(Flowering and Bearing Grain - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 909)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Irrespective of your circumstances, whether your job is far from exciting or far from the limelight, you can transform wherever you are into a Land of Tranquil Light, by bringing forth the brilliance of your inner Buddhahood. Your joyous presence will become a beacon of hope for others in your families, workplaces, and communities."
