-- TO MY FRIENDS --
If our Women's Division members, who have continuously shouldered
the responsibility of our great movement for kosen-rufu through
their solid chanting and actions, are firmly established,
the SGI will continue to grow and develop eternally!
Realising our own special and unique roles and missions in life
let us all continue to advance every day,
cheerfully and in high spirits!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Strengthen your resolve more than ever. Ice is made of water, but it is colder than water. Blue dye comes from indigo, but when something is repeatedly dyed in it, the colour is better than that of the indigo plant. The Lotus Sutra remains the same, but if you repeatedly strengthen your resolve, your colour will be better than that of others, and you will receive more blessings than they do."
(The Supremacy of the Law - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, page 615)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"When we pray, it's important to have a firm conviction that all our prayers will be answered and to pray with intensity. Mentors and disciples, Bodhisattvas of the Earth striving together for kosen-rufu, unite their hearts in prayer, so their prayers are certain to come true. When we truly pledge to achieve kosen-rufu as we chant daimoku, then our prayer is a prayer of the Bodhisattvas of the Earth. At that moment, our lives open and expand to that of the Bodhisattvas of the Earth. Such prayers have the power to set the heavenly deities and the Buddhas, the entire universe, into action, and they will protect us and our families, while also answering our personal prayers. As such, praying for kosen-rufu is the direct path to expanding our own life-state and realising our personal prayers.
