Seikyo Shimbun was on holiday on the 31st so there is no "To My Friends" ...

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Nam-myoho-renge-kyo is the greatest of all joys."

(Ongi kuden - Gosho Zenshu, page 788, The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings, page 212) Selection source: SGI President Ikeda's essay, Seikyo Shimbun, December 29th, 2012

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Kosen-rufu is the effort to share the Mystic Law with one person after another and increase the number of people who practise the Daishonin's Buddhism to realise their fullest inner potential. The Gohonzon exists to make this possible. Indeed, the Gohonzon exists for the happiness of humanity and the realisation of kosen-rufu.

"Therefore, when we embrace faith in the Gohonzon, it is important that we firmly believe in the justice of the Daishonin's struggle. Unless we have the resolve to share in this struggle and participate in widely propagating the Mystic Law, then the supremely noble life-state of Buddhahood will not manifest powerfully within us. The essence of faith in Nichiren Daishonin's Buddhism is for disciples to strive for kosen-rufu with the same spirit as their mentor."
