-- TO MY FRIENDS --
When we try to inspire other people,
our own spirits are lifted at the same time.
"Encouragement" has the strength of ten thousand.
Through our sincere words and respectful actions
let's show how much we really do care about others.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"You must not spend your lives in vain and regret it for ten thousand years to come."

(The Problem to Be Pondered Night and Day - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Volume 1, page 622) Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, October 28th, 2012

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Naturally, there are many different kinds of people. The organisation is a place for cultivating one's character and humanity, so I hope members will make wise and persevering efforts. Those efforts will all become lifelong treasures.

"Though unity is important, in the end it all comes down to the courage to stand up as an individual. Instead of focusing on what others are doing or not doing, we ourselves need to stand up, brimming with courage and hope.

"Mr. Makiguchi said: 'Give me a single lion over a thousand sheep.' The SGI shouldn't be a gathering of conformists. We need to build it into an organisation of individuals of lionhearted courage and fighting spirit."
