-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The time has come to show the world
the amazing potential and ability of Soka,
to face and win over any and all kinds of hardship.
Let us leave behind a glorious history of achievement
based on the great strength of our solid unity and sincerity.

"I entrust you with the propagation of Buddhism in your province. It is stated that 'the seeds of Buddhahood sprout as a result of conditions, and for this reason they preach the single vehicle.'"
(The Properties of Rice - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 1117)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"'When once we chant Myoho-renge-kyo, with just that single sound we summon forth and manifest the Buddha nature of all Buddhas; all existences; all bodhisattvas; all voice-hearers; all the deities such as Brahma, Shakra, and King Yama ; the sun and moon, and the myriad stars; the heavenly gods and earthly deities, on down to hell-dwellers, hungry spirits, animals, asuras, human and heavenly beings, and all other living beings. This blessing is immeasurable and boundless.' From 'How Those Initially Aspiring to the Way Can Attain Buddhahood through the Lotus Sutra' (WND-1, 887).
"Let's keep chanting daimoku steadfastly and take action to move forwards. Our efforts for kosen-rufu constitute a great struggle for good aimed at awakening and summoning forth the Buddha nature of all people."
SGI Newsletter No. 8202, LIVING THE GOSHO: WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT FROM SGI PRESIDENT IKEDA, (9) Striving to Awaken and Summon Forth the Buddha Nature of All People, from the April 5th, 2011 issue of the Seikyo Shimbun, translated April 5th, 2011
