-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Now, our important Month of Soka has begun.
By thoughtfully making every effort to encourage those around us,
let's invigorate our society with courage and strength.
We, the SGI, are indeed the pillar of (our nation) Japan.

"When he was alive, he was a Buddha in life, and now he is a Buddha in death. He is a Buddha in both life and death.."

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Nichiren Daishonin writes:
"I entrust you with the propagation of Buddhism in your province. It is stated [in the second chapter of the Lotus Sutra] that 'the seeds of Buddhahood sprout [through causation], and for this reason they [the Buddhas] preach the single vehicle' [the Mystic Law] [LSOC2, 75]. (cf. WND-1, 1117)
The Daishonin has directly entrusted each of us with the mission of working for the happiness of our community. Through joyfully and expertly engaging others in dialogue and helping them forge connections with the Daishonin's Buddhism, let us continue to transform the place we live into a realm of peace and prosperity."
