-- TO MY FRIENDS --
To all of Gajo-kai, Ojo-kai and Hojo-kai* group members,
may we take this opportunity to express our utmost appreciation
for all your dedicated work behind the scenes.
For all of your sincere and selfless efforts
to protect and safeguard our SGI community centres
by making sure to keep everything secure,
to save energy in every possible way, etc.,
you will most certainly be blessed with boundless good fortune
and benefit from the Mystic Law.
* Obviously these groups and their names' vary from country to country but these are the groups of members that look after all of our community centres and other facilities, from security to cleaning and many many other various types of jobs, sometimes quite unique to that particular centre.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Therefore, I say to you, my disciples, try practicing as the Lotus Sutra teaches, exerting yourselves without begrudging your lives! Test the truth of Buddhism now!"
(The Selection of the Time - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 583)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"As SGI members striving diligently in faith, practice, and study, we are able to develop a strong, invincible self through our personal experiences of overcoming all kinds of hardships and obstacles through the power of the Mystic Law. Surely none epitomize the life-state of Buddhahood more than our confident and self-assured pioneer members who are utterly fearless.
"We are all originally entities of the Mystic Law. It is essential, therefore, that we firmly believe in the principle of 'substituting faith for wisdom' --that is, being able to bring forth the wisdom and courage we need for victory when we base our lives on chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo. This is the key to non-regressing faith taught in the Daishonin's Buddhism."
