-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Now, autumn,
the season for making remarkable progress, is here.
With bright refreshing voices and smiles,
let's put our whole heart into developing friendships with as many people
as we possibly can in our own local community.
All the heart-to-heart interaction we make with others
will become invaluable treasures and adorn our lives.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"I will be the pillar of Japan. I will be the eyes of Japan. I will be the great ship of Japan. This is my vow, and I will never forsake it!"
(The Opening of the Eyes, Writings of Nichiren Daishonin Volume-1, Page 280)
Selection source: SGI President Ikeda's essay, Seikyo Shimbun, October 9th, 2011

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Regarding all the teachings of Shakyamuni's lifetime, Nichiren Daishonin writes: "All these are teachings encompassed within the single entity of an individual" (WND-2, 843). Buddhism does not exist apart from us. The entirety of the Lotus Sutra is the drama within one's own being, and the entire universe and the fundamental principle underlying it are all encompassed within our lives.
