-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's share the joy of our practice just as honestly and frankly as we feel!
It is the courageous action of sharing this Buddhism with others
that enables us to gain immeasurable good fortune and benefit.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"'Joy' means that oneself and others together experience joy. ... When that is done, then both oneself and others together will take joy in their possession of wisdom and compassion."
(Ongi kudesn - Gosho Zenshu, page 761, The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings, page 146) Selection source: SGI President Ikeda's guidance, Seikyo Shimbun, Feb 19th, 2012

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"You need to be determined to bring forth a hundred times the power and strength you have up to now! No matter how tough the challenge, fight against wrongdoing and champion what is good and right.
"Irrespective of how talented you are, if you lack the passionate fighting spirit to strive for kosen-rufu, for the Soka Gakkai, and for your mentor, you won't be able to open the way to victory in the truest sense.
"Everything hinges on whether you have the mentor-disciple spirit. If you live with this spirit in your heart, you'll never look down on people or grow arrogant."
SGI Newsletter No. 8446, (20) Build the Foundation for Victory Based on the Mentor-Disciple Spirit, from the Jan. 31st, 2012, issue of the Seikyo Shimbun, translated Feb. 7th, 2012
