-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The lives of those who continually challenge themselves
are always cheerful.
By firmly deciding that we will definitely win,
no matter how hard the challenge might be,
and chanting daimoku most earnestly,
let's courageously take action!
Let's advance exuberantly.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"It is said that, if a teacher has a good disciple, both will gain the fruit of Buddhahood, but if a teacher fosters a bad disciple, both will fall into hell. If teacher and disciple are of different minds, they will never accomplish anything."
(Flowering and Bearing Grain - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 909)
Selection source: "Kibo no Izumi", Seikyo Shimbun, October 30th, 2011

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Kosen-rufu is a continuous effort to pioneer the unexplored frontier. It is a task arduous beyond belief. We can never expect it to be easy. Those who are self-serving, cowardly, half-hearted, careless, or dishonest stunt their potential.

"In everything we do, including propagation and giving personal guidance, victory is achieved by tackling each task at hand with all our might. Let's throw ourselves into sincerely and wholeheartedly supporting each and every member. That's the way of a champion."
SGI Newsletter No. 8364, The New Human Revolution––Vol. 25: Chap. 1, Light of Happiness 6, translated Oct. 26th, 2011
