-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The realisation of our goal of kosen rufu will be determined
by the strength and power of women.
Let us always be sure to convey our utmost appreciation
to our Women's and Young Women's Division members for all their efforts.
It is in doing so that we can build a peaceful and prosperous world.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Whether you chant the Buddha's name,3 recite the sutra, or merely
offer flowers and incense, all your virtuous acts will implant
benefits and roots of goodness in your life. With this conviction you
should strive in faith."

(On Attaining Buddhahood in this Lifetime - WND-1, page 4)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Normally, most people aren't aware of how they are thought of by those around them. Some are convinced that they can get away with not doing their best, instead doing just enough to get by. In fact, this is an extremely shallow way of thinking, because it completely disregards the value of others' trust, which is actually the most important treasure as a human being and a member of society."
SGI Newsletter No. 8312,The New Human Revolution–Vol. 24: Chap. 4, Beacon 13, translated Sep. 6th, 2011
