-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Thanks to having the Seikyo Shimbun newspaper,
the kosen-rufu movement has been able to advance this far.
The lives of its great noble deliverers and local reporters
and all of those who promote, protect and support the newspaper
will certainly be adorned in good fortune and benefit!
*The Seikyo Shimbun first went into print on April 20, 1951, just before Josei Toda's inauguration as second president of the Soka Gakkai. It started out as a two-page broadsheet printed front and back and was published once every ten days... (The New Human Revolution, Vol. 10, "Bastion of the Pen" chapter)

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Therefore, those who become Nichiren's disciples and lay believers should realize the profound karmic relationship they share with him and spread the Lotus Sutra as he does. Being known as a votary of the Lotus Sutra is a bitter, yet unavoidable, destiny."
(Letter to Jakunichi-bo - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 994)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"In offering encouragement to a women's division member, my mentor, second Soka Gakkai president Josei Toda, once said: 'Chanting daimoku is a struggle to ignite the flame of courage in our life. You can definitely bring forth great benefit in the form of an astonishing positive transformation, changing poison into medicine. When you do so, your example will open the eyes of others to the power of the Mystic Law. You have an amazing mission in life!'"
