-- WORDS OF THE WEEK --
Let's celebrate the glorious day of the Soka Gakkai's founding
with all our SGI friends throughout the world.
To exert ourselves bravely and vigorously
--this is the very spirit of our organisation's founding.
Let's spur ourselves on to take action right now
for the expansion of kosen-rufu.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"I say this for your sake. I know your faith has always been admirable, but now you must strengthen it more than ever."

(The Supremacy of the Law - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Volume 1, page 614) Selection source: Buddhist teachings, Seikyo Shimbun, November 11th, 2012

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"There's bound to be some kind of gap between our dreams and reality. Any dream that's easily attainable isn't very exciting. To realise our dreams, we need to have a strong commitment and determination to succeed.

"Thomas Edison was said to have been a poor student at school, but his strong desire to make life more convenient for everyone led him to become a great inventor. And for the Wright brothers, it was their enduring dream to be able to fly like a bird that enabled them to surmount a long series of failures and finally invent the first powered airplane. Though facing numerous obstacles and hardships, these great individuals continued to hold fast to their dream and worked tenaciously towards making it a reality. They never gave up on it, even when others said it was impossible or ridiculed them."
