-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Our workplace, local community and family
are the main stage upon which we carry out our human revolution.
Remember that "Buddhism equals society,"
and that faith manifests itself in daily life.
Let's each win in the very place and circumstances
we find ourselves in right now!

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"From a mundane view, I am the poorest person in Japan, but in the light of Buddhism, I am the wealthiest person in all Jambudvipa [the entire world]. When I consider that this is all because the time is right, I am overwhelmed with joy and cannot restrain my tears. It is impossible to repay my debt of gratitude to Shakyamuni Buddha, the lord of teachings."
-From "On Establishing the Four Bodhisattvas as the Object of Devotion" (WND-1, 977).

"A person's true wealth is not determined by money or status, but by their inner state of life.

"We, who follow the Daishonin's lead in upholding and practising the Mystic Law, are also the wealthiest people in all the world. An indestructible Soka Gakkai has been built by ordinary people whose hearts are filled with the joy of propagating the Law.

"Let's confidently continue to spread the Daishonin's Buddhism, with the happy pride of those who possess unsurpassed inner riches."
