-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's be sure to respect women's opinions!
This has always been a cherished tradition of the SGI.
Where people have looked after and respected women,
both their homes and organisations
have unceasingly developed and prospered.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"What can we say, then, of persons who are devoting themselves to Buddhism? Surely they should not forget the debts of gratitude they owe to their parents, their teachers, and their country. But if one intends to repay these great debts of gratitude, one can hope to do so only if one learns and masters Buddhism, becoming a person of wisdom."
(On Repaying Debts of Gratitude - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 690)
Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, June 4th, 2011

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"At his inauguration, President Toda spelled out clearly, as if unfurling a giant banner in the sky, that kosen-rufu, a great undertaking to realise peace for all humanity, could only be accomplished through 'one-on-one, face-to-face dialogue.' In other words, it is important that we keep making tireless efforts to reach out to one person after another, taking time to get to know them and repeatedly engaging them in sincere, friendly dialogue. 'Continuation and repetition'--this is also the sure path to kosen-rufu."
SGI Newsletter No. 8235, OUR BRILLIANT PATH TO VICTORY, May 3rd--A Day Celebrating the Shared Struggle of Mentor and Disciple, from the May 4th, 2011, issue of the Seikyo Shimbun, translated May 18th, 2011
