-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Our palms are pressed in gratitude and appreciation
for all the efforts that everyone has been making
towards building a noble and remarkable history.
The benefits and good fortune that you are gaining in your lives,
as you dedicate yourself to the noble cause of kosen rufu,
will unmistakably prevail across all the three existences.
Let us gear ourselves up to making a victorious advance
towards May 3rd!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"(It also states that, if the minds of living beings are impure, their land is also impure, but if their minds are pure, so is their land.) There are not two lands, pure or impure in themselves. The difference lies solely in the good or evil of our minds."
(On Attaining Buddhahood in This Lifetime - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 4)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Buddhism ultimately comes down to our 'behaviour as a human being' (WND-1, 852). What matters are our character and integrity. People take note of the way we speak, our facial expressions, and our attitude. I hope, therefore, that you'll actively reach out to others, taking the lead in greeting and talking to those around you in a bright and friendly manner."
SGI Newsletter No. 8203, OUR BRILLIANT PATH TO VICTORY, The Great Light of the Westward Transmission of Buddhism--Part 2 [of 2], from the February 19th, 2011, issue of the Seikyo Shimbun, translated April 6th, 2011
