-- TO MY FRIENDS --
All of those members' houses and other private facilities
that we use for our kosen-rufu activities are the plazas
where we develop great harmony and friendship with other people.
They are like great treasure castles
where we strive to achieve our human revolution.
By always making sure to express our utmost appreciation
to them and their families,
let's all advance together with a bright refreshed spirit!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"... those with the heart of a lion king are sure to attain Buddhahood."
(Letter from Sado - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 302)
Selection source: Kyo no Hosshin, Seikyo Shimbun, May 18th, 2012

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Factions must never be allowed to form within the Soka Gakkai.

"When carefully examined, those organisations that are experiencing difficulty growing or seem to have lost the clear purpose of faith that once motivated them are often times afflicted with this problem.

"...Never forget that irresponsible or poor personnel decisions can lead to the destruction of the Soka Gakkai."
