-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Autumn, a perfect season to engage in dialogue with others!
When we can meet face to face with someone,
we can make our bonds even stronger and more beautiful.
With the utmost of sincerity and care for others,
let's continue to work on developing invaluable friendships,
with as many people as we possibly can.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Great events never have minor omens. When great evil occurs, great good follows."

(Great Evil and Great Good - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 1119) Selection Source: Kyo no Hosshin, Seikyo Shinbun, October 6th, 2012

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The words, 'those with the heart of a lion king,' refer to people who continue to chant daimoku wholeheartedly throughout times of hardship.

"Anyone can chant daimoku. But to truly possess the heart of a lion king means to have an active commitment in faith, an unwavering determination to strive for kosen-rufu. A lion king takes the initiative and isn't passive.

"To be a lion king is to have the resolve: 'Even if everyone else abandons their faith, I will achieve our goal. I will realise kosen-rufu. I will continue to speak out for the Soka Gakkai's cause until the end.' The lion king is characterised by positive action and the strength to keep building."
