-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo
is the source of definite victory for all us.
It is like a sharp, jewelled sword that has the ability
to pierce through any manner of suffering and hardship.
Therefore, let's chant with vigour and intensity and win over everything!

"There is no place among the worlds of the ten directions that the sound of our
voices chanting daimoku cannot reach. Our voices may be small, but when we intone the powerful sound of daimoku, there is no place in the universe that they do not penetrate."
(Selection source, "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, July 7, 2011

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"'It is due to the authority and supernatural power of Bodhisattva Universal Worthy that this Lotus Sutra is propagated throughout Jambudvipa [the entire world]. Therefore the widespread propagation of this sutra must be under the care and protection of Bodhisattva Universal Worthy.'
From The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings, p. 190.
"We are committed to creating peace through dialogue, infused with a universal
wisdom, as exemplified by Bodhisattva Universal Worthy. We have now entered an age when many of the world's leading scholars find resonance with the value-creating philosophy of the SGI.
"Real wisdom is free from boastful arrogance or an attitude of superiority. The wise and noble spirit of Bodhisattva Universal Worthy pulses in the commitment to work for the welfare and happiness of people and in efforts for the sake of truth and justice."
SGI Newsletter No. 8269, Living the Gosho: Words of Encouragement from SGI President Ikeda, (38) World Peace and the Power of Bodhisattva Universal Worthy, translated July 4th, 2011, from the June 30th, 2011, issue of the Seikyo Shimbun.
