-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Thank you, our mothers,
for always being there for us,
no matter how many challenges you might be facing.
It is precisely because of your sincere daimoku and your smile like the sun that we all can advance with joy and happiness as the Soka family!

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Those who are guided by a sound, positive philosophy are strong."
"The Daishonin's writings are a source of unsurpassed hope. They fully and completely reveal the path by which all people in this evil age of the Latter Day that is defiled by the five impurities can bring the infinitely noble Buddha nature inherent in their lives to shine forth. The Daishonin's writings are teachings that contain the key to ultimate happiness."
