-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's be sure to express our deepest and heartfelt appreciation
to all those families who have so generously provided
private culture centres or opened their homes to hold SGI meetings in.
It is thanks to their sincere offering of these treasured castles
that it has been possible for our movement to reach its shining 80th anniversary!

"The stronger one's faith, the greater the protection of the gods." This means that the protection of the gods depends on the strength of one's faith."
(General Stone Tiger - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 953)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"'To me, the true purpose of thinking about the future is not merely imagining how it might be but rather deciding what we will do about it. Each individual's attitude towards living is reflected in their life as a whole, influencing the age and ultimately affecting history. I believe that a new path is opened in this way. It follows, then, that the future resides in the heart of each of us alive today, and in our actions in our daily lives.'
"The future lives within the attitudes we keep. It's not some rosy dream guaranteed to us without any efforts of our own. It will remain a fantasy unless we strive to make it a reality. Nor is the future necessarily dark and grim--such a vision of the future is the product of passivity and the refusal to strive for something better.
"We need to see the present clearly and objectively, envision the future we want, and then act to make it a reality. We need to strive our hardest, trusting in the power of our lives and the potential within humanity.
"Buddhism is a teaching that draws out the unlimited potential we each possess."
