-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Fostering talented and capable people entails the constant challenge
of sowing the seed of inspiration.
With the courage to believe in people's possibilities
and the persistent effort to take action with them,
no matter how much time and effort it does indeed take,
let's strive together to improve and develop ourselves!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Arouse deep faith, and diligently polish your mirror day and night. How should you polish it? Only by chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo."

(On Attaining Buddhahood in This Lifetime - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 4) Selection Source: Kyo no Hosshin, Seikyo Shinbun, October 5th, 2012

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Never become the kind of person who tyrannises and bullies the weak and fawns on and plays up to the powerful. You need to challenge the arrogant and domineering. You need to protect those who can't protect themselves, treating them with care and consideration. Don't succumb to the world of Animality!

"In order to protect your fellow Soka Gakkai members, you need to stand up to the powerful. You can't protect the people unless you fight against those who look down on and try to exploit them."

SGI Newsletter No. 8641, Young Phoenixes, Soar into the Future! (7) President Ikeda's Lecture on "Letter from Sado"—Part 1 [of 2], from the May 2011 issue of the Daibyakurenge,, translated 4th Oct. 2012
