-- TO MY FRIENDS --
To all of our noble fellow members in assistant roles,
who are advancing courageously and confidently
by carrying out their own unique missions wherever they might be,
you are the key people to our perfect unity.
You are the underlying force to the complete victory of Soka!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"There is nothing to lament when we consider that we will surely become Buddhas. Even if one were to become an emperor's consort, of what use would it be? Even if one were to be reborn in heaven, what end would it serve?"

(The Bow and Arrow - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 657)
Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, June 26th, 2010

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"At the north gate of the splendid campus of China's Xi'an Jiaotong University stands a monument inscribed with the Chinese characters reading: "When you drink water, think of its source." This is a famous maxim exhorting us to remember with gratitude and appreciation the source of the life-giving water we drink.

"Xi'an Jiaotong University has produced a mighty river of capable people, who embody this deep and ardent spirit of always remembering the source and returning to the starting point, of advancing and working unstintingly to repay the debts of gratitude they owe to others."
