[SGI-ToMyFriends-Wagatomo] To My Friends & Daily Gosho Aug.29th + Daily Enc. Aug. 30th

* The team is all back...on our travels though we noticed that many people within the SGI were simply not aware of the service we were offering! If you like we can send to any number of people a one off invitation to "To My Friends", if you let us know their address and you mark CLEARLY that you would like us to send them an INVITATION. We will NOT send them more than one invite, unless you instruct us to do so, nor will we hold any person's address in any data base once the invite has gone out. They will ONLY receive an invitation, it is up to them to click that they would like to receive it, until then they will NOT be on the daily mailing list.

A translation of President Ikeda's "To My Friends" published in the Seikyo Shimbun and more.

-- TO MY FRIENDS --
To all of our fellow members who are so selflessly
dedicating themselves to achieving kosen-rufu,
no matter how hot or hectic their personal schedules might be,
may I express my utmost appreciation and deep respect
for all the efforts you are making from the bottom of my heart!
All of the SGI activities that you are steadily
and persistently devoting yourself towards
will definitely be treasures that will stay with you for all eternity.
