-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's all make outstanding progress this June!
Cherishing in our hearts the fact that each one of us
has a unique and important mission to fulfill,
let's challenge ourselves to help as many people as possible
to form a connection with this Buddhism.
On the grand stage of kosen-rufu,
let's play out our noble roles by engaging in frank discussions with others.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"A blue fly, if it clings to the tail of a thoroughbred horse, can travel ten thousand miles, and the green ivy that twines around the tall pine can grow to a thousand feet."

(On Establishing the Correct Teaching for the Peace of the Land - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol. 1, page 17) Selection Selection source: Kyo no Hosshin, Seikyo Shimbun, June 1st, 2012

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"We reach out to one person after another in our environment, forming connections with them, engaging them in frank discussions, and then working together with them to build a better, more peaceful world based on a philosophy of respect for the dignity of life. This is the way to transform the world into a "Buddha land" or "treasure land." This is the formula for "establishing the correct teaching for the peace of the land."

"In today's world, which many liken to a "hell of loneliness and isolation," the Soka Gakkai is building and expanding genuine human ties."
