-- TO MY FRIENDS --
It's our courageous faith, our ultimate strength,
that enables us to start a fresh new life.
Together with our gallant fellow members in Tohoku,
who are so courageously moving on with such unyielding perseverance
(despite the great disaster),
let us all make every effort to advance together
towards a hope-filled future!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"My wish is that my disciples will be cubs of the lion king, never to be laughed at by the pack of foxes. It is hard to encounter a master like Nichiren, who since distant kalpas in the past down to the present day has never begrudged his body or life in order to expose the faults of his powerful enemies!"
(In the Continent of Jambudvipa - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.2, page 1062)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"No matter how tough the challenges we face, we can definitely overcome them and transform poison into medicine. This is what the Soka Gakkai has demonstrated with incontrovertible proof over the last 80 years.
"The Daishonin's Buddhism places importance on the three aspects of teaching, practice, and proof. In other words, the particular Buddhist teaching, the practice that it sets forth, and the benefit one receives from that practice (i.e., enlightenment). In the Latter Day of the Law, the Daishonin's Buddhism alone contains all three aspects. It thus follows that today they are found only in the Soka Gakkai, which is directly connected to the Daishonin. This is borne out by the joyful experiences in faith shared by members at discussion meetings across Japan and around the world.
"We are living in troubled times and many people are suffering. That is why we need to reach out to others and talk to them about the great teachings of the Daishonin's Buddhism and enable them to share the wonderful benefits of faith in the Mystic Law."
