-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Our SGI community centres are places of trust
and where people can have peace of mind.
(Whenever we use them,)
let's make sure that we practice good manners
in parking our cars, bicycles, etc.
and try to keep the noise to a minimum.
Let's always be considerate of the neighbours
as much as we possibly can!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Although I and my disciples may encounter various difficulties, if we do not harbour doubts in our hearts, we will as a matter of course attain Buddhahood. Do not have doubts simply because heaven does not lend you protection. Do not be discouraged because you do not enjoy an easy and secure existence in this life."

(The Opening of the Eyes - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 283)
Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, May 11th, 2012
