-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin are the driving force
for victory and success.
Let's constantly study the Daishonin's teachings
and put what we have learnt into action.
And through taking action,
let's enhance our understanding of Buddhism.
Confidently and with conviction,
let's share this hope-filled philosophy
with as many people as we possibly can.

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"My mentor, second Soka Gakkai president Josei Toda, who took every single meeting very seriously, said:

"'The Lotus Sutra urges us to treat fellow practitioners with the same respect we would show towards Buddhas (cf. LSOC28, 365). Our focus is the happiness of each person, and working together with the members. We must never forget that starting point. We have to make our meetings the most enjoyable, meaningful, and harmonious in
all the world, meetings that are open and unpretentious.'"
SGI Newsletter No. 8084, Soka Gakkai Meetings Are Gatherings of Buddhas,from the October 2010 issue of Daibyakurenge, the Soka Gakkai monthly study journal, translated Sep.17th, 2010.
