-- TO MY FRIENDS --
All over Japan and the world,
young people throughout the SGI
are enthusiastically playing active roles in our activities for kosen-rufu.
Please create a great history of growth and development in our movement!
You are indeed the brilliant hope for the future.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"If one cares for them while they are alive but does nothing to help them in their next life, it will be like a mere drop of water."
(On Filial and Unfilial Conduct - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 1033)
Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, October 29th, 2011

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Some leaders have yet to develop the capacity to pioneer kosen-rufu amidst such adverse circumstances. Although they are clever and intelligent, on a fundamental level they haven't forged an unshakable conviction in faith or fully exhibited the true spirit to share and propagate this Buddhism.

"Even though they may be good at running the organisation, when they are faced with a major challenge, they hesitate and easily give up. In order to win a really difficult battle, we need to fearlessly advance and be prepared to give our all. A real leader of propagating this Buddhism will never emerge from among those who are indecisive and lack a pioneering spirit."
SGI Newsletter No. 8364, The New Human Revolution––Vol. 25: Chap. 1, Light of Happiness 6, translated Oct. 26th, 2011
