-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's transform our karma into our mission!
Let's use hardships as a powerful spring board for our advancement.
Buddhism elucidates the principle of "changing poison into medicine"*.
With great confidence and conviction in our chanting
let's all write a wonderful "drama" of a victorious life!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Because I have expounded this teaching, I have been exiled and almost killed. As the saying goes, 'Good advice grates on the ear.' But still I am not discouraged."
(The Essentials for Attaining Buddhahood - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 997)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"'When one carries out the single practice of exercising faith in Myoho-renge-kyo, there are no blessings that fail to come to one, and no good karma that does not begin to work on one's behalf.'
- From "Conversation between a Sage and an Unenlightened Man" (WND-1, 133).
"Our efforts to chant and spread Nam-myoho-renge-kyo produce myriad benefits and good causes, which multiply boundlessly when we all unite together in the shared prayer and aspiration for kosen-rufu. Not a single effort we put into our SGI activities is ever wasted.
"That is why it's important that we bravely move forwards based on faith and practice when we face obstacles or problems. Let's not forget that we can open the path to victory where we are right now through having the courage to take action."
SGI Newsletter No. 8464, Living the Gosho: Words of Encouragement from SGI President Ikeda, (69) Making Positive Causes through Our Efforts for Kosen-rufu, from the February 24, 2012, issue of the Seikyo Shimbun, translated March 2nd, 2012
