-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Three cheers to all the Women's Division general meetings*
that are spreading waves of hope across all the Japanese archipelago.
A place lit up by the warm smile of mothers
is a place where the flowers of peace and happiness blossom fragrantly
and in great abundance!
* The Women's Division has been holding general meetings at individual and group levels all across Japan throughout the month of June.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Arouse deep faith, and diligently polish your mirror day and night. How should you polish it? Only by chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo."
(On Attaining Buddhahood in This Lifetime - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 4)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"A person who upholds the Daishonin's Buddhism and stands up in faith with a profound awareness of their mission can bring forth the immense potential that resides within them. Their inner transformation will unfailingly impact the lives of those around them, triggering joyous ripples that promote the development of human potential. The experiences of SGI members are eloquent testimony to the truth that when we change, the world around us also changes.
"The purpose of faith in Nichiren Daishonin's Buddhism is for each of us to win in life, and to lead a life of utmost value and meaning. And the essence of our Buddhist practice towards those ends is to continually deepen our faith."
SGI Newsletter No. 8247, LEARNING FROM THE WRITINGS OF NICHIREN DAISHONIN: THE TEACHINGS FOR VICTORY, [27] 'A Father Takes Faith,' Unity and Human Revolution Are the Keys to Victory in Our Efforts for Kosen-rufu, from the April 2011 issue of the Daibyakurenge, translated June 6th, 2011
