Friday, September 24th, 2010
-- TO MY FRIENDS --
How we speak has a very big impact on others.
By speaking in a refreshing, vibrant voice,
speaking in a warm and caring voice,
or speaking in a courageous and confident voice--
let's all forge ahead together cheerfully!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Let others hate you if they will. What have you to complain of, if you are cherished by Shakyamuni Buddha, Many Treasures Buddha, and the Buddhas of the ten directions, as well as by Brahma, Shakra, and the gods of the sun and moon? As long as you are praised by the Lotus Sutra, what cause have you for discontent?"

(The Unity of Husband and Wife - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 464)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Throughout history, how many innocent people have been falsely charged and made to suffer? A society that harms the just and innocent and causes pain and suffering to decent, hardworking citizens must be changed. That is the purpose of our struggle to establish the correct teaching for the peace of the land.

"What is the greatest pride of the first three presidents of the Soka Gakkai? It is that we have fought our hardest against the devilish nature of authority in order to protect the freedom and happiness of the people, and that we have won."
SGI Newsletter No. 8085, OUR BRILLIANT PATH TO VICTORY, July 3rd and the Spirit of Mentor and Disciple--Part 2 [of 2], from the July 2nd, 2010, issue of the Seikyo Shimbun, translated Sep. 21st, 2010.
