-- TO MY FRIENDS --
To all of those who are presently having a hard time finding a job,
I sincerely hope you will never give up in your search
and that you will continue to challenge yourself until you win,
no matter how difficult the situation might be.
Brimming with the never-give-up spirit,
keep moving forwards and clear open a path towards victory
so that you can fulfill your unique and important mission.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"However great the good causes one may make, or even if one reads and copies the entirety of the Lotus Sutra a thousand or ten thousand times, or attains the way of perceiving three thousand realms in a single moment of life, if one fails to denounce the enemies of the Lotus Sutra, it will be impossible to attain the way."
(Encouragement to a Sick Person - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 78)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Referring to the Lotus Sutra's Ceremony in the Air, which saw the Buddhas and bodhisattvas of the ten directions assemble around Shakyamuni Buddha and Many Treasures Buddha, Nichiren Daishonin states: 'Their ultimate purpose in meeting was to provide a way for all of us living beings to attain Buddhahood' (WND-1, 385).
"SGI meetings, centering on the discussion meeting, are magnificent assemblies devoted to the propagation of the Mystic Law, in perfect accord with the Buddha's intent to guide all people to the direct path to attaining Buddhahood in this lifetime and enable everyone without exception to lead a happy and victorious life. That is why our meetings have the power to inspire participants to challenge their own human revolution, drawing forth each person's Buddha nature.
