-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Daishonin encourages,
"Teach others to the best of your ability,
even if it is only a single sentence or phrase."*
Let's summon up all our courage and put our faith into action!
With the spirit that everything starts from now on,
let's take on every challenge
and make a great history of successive victories.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"But my life from the beginning has been based upon firm conviction. I have no intention now of reversing my course, nor will I ever reproach [those who persecuted me]. Evil persons too will be good friends to me."
(Why No Protection from the Heavenly Gods? - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.2, page 432)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The development of kosen-rufu starts with making our local organisations strong. It's important for us to courageously engage in that effort. We shouldn't wait for others to do it; we should stand up on our own.

"Standing up alone as an individual--that's the start of everything. It's the eternal spirit of Soka. Everyone is the president of the Soka Gakkai...."
