-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Hurrah for all of our noble Taiyo-kai and Kanto-kai members*,
who are so experienced and brimming with wisdom
in how to inspire and encourage people.
Now is your golden time.
Let's all talk about this Buddhism with others
more enthusiastically than ever!
*Men's Division members in Japan who are available to engage in daytime SGI activities. There are similar SGI groups in some of other countries.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Suffer what there is to suffer, enjoy what there is to enjoy. Regard both suffering and joy as facts of life, and continue chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo no matter what happens."
(Happiness in This World - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 681)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Let us always advance with an indomitable and youthful spirit! No matter what may have happened yesterday, a new day of fresh possibility dawns.
"We are not the same person today as we were yesterday. The Soka Gakkai is not the same organisation as it was yesterday. With that determination, let's usher in a new dawn from today. Let us create a new dawn of value creation once again in our lives.
"Yasuzaemon Matsunaga (1875-1971), a Japanese electrical industry pioneer, was a student of Japanese author Yukichi Fukuzawa (1835-1901) and a dear friend of British historian Arnold J. Toynbee (1889-1975). He once said: 'A person who lives this day well has lived well in the past and will live well in the future.'"
