-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Soka's mentors and disciples have won
because of their courageous faith and practice.
Now, proudly singing our SGI songs,
let's start anew,
with dignity and confidence,
aiming at fresh new victories!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Because I am the votary of the Lotus Sutra, I have suffered all manner of persecution at the hands of the three powerful enemies. How wondrous that you
have, nonetheless, become a disciple and a supporter of such a person! There must be some profound reason for our relationship."
(The Swords of Good and Evil - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, page 451)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Past achievements aren't what count. What matters is what you're doing now, and what you're going to do in the future. It's vital to continue advancing and encouraging others as long as you live, whether you're in your eighties or nineties. Please live your life with an eternally youthful spirit."
