-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Now, let's try to meet with new people!
Also, let's use this time of the year to commune with those
whom we usually don't have a chance to talk to.
Let's take time to listen to what they have to say
and send them a cool breeze with the words of encouragement.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"... those with the heart of a lion king are sure to attain Buddhahood. Like Nichiren, for example."

(Letter from Sado - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Volume 1, page 302) Selection source: SGI President Ikeda's guidance, Seikyo Shimbun, August 5th, 2012

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
Upholding faith in the Daishonin's Buddhism is the great way to supreme happiness. If we allow fear and doubt to prevent us from taking action when we should, we will ultimately gain nothing. But if we challenge ourselves wholeheartedly based on the Mystic Law, we will gain enduring benefit—benefit that will last our whole life long.
