-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's give our all to help our younger and newer members
so that they will become even more capable leaders than we are.
This is one of the SGI's proud traditions.
In our local community,
where we have our own unique mission,
let's build solidarity for the happiness of ourselves and everyone else.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"You must simply make up your mind. Look at the world this year as a mirror. The reason that you have survived until now when so many have died was so that you would meet with this affair."

(Reply to Yasaburo - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 829) Selection source: Kyo no Hosshin, Seikyo Shimbun, August 25th, 2012

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The Daishonin writes: 'The sun breaks through the pitch-black dark,' and 'The Lotus Sutra is [like] the sun' (WND-1, 315). As SGI members who chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo and lead their lives based on the Mystic Law, a bright sun of hope shines ever in our hearts. We can dispel all darkness and cast off even the heaviest chains of karma."

"Chant daimoku, trusting in the power of the Gohonzon. Strive fearlessly and with perseverance. Refuse to accept defeat. Never retreat a single step. In the end, you are certain to triumph!"
