-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The victories that we personally achieve
demonstrate what it means to achieve "victory for a Youthful SGI!"
Come, let's encourage ourselves to have a fresh spirit and new enthusiasm
and take on new challenges so that we can all achieve our
"new" human revolution!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Now, no matter what, strive in faith and be known as a votary of the Lotus Sutra, and remain my disciple for the rest of your life."

(The True Aspect of All Phenomena - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 385) Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, January 11th, 2013

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"As you all know, salmon are born in rivers, swim to the sea where they grow to adulthood, before returning several years later to lay their eggs in the rivers in which they were born. They swim strenuously upstream against the current, sometimes injuring themselves on rocks and stones, and then the males and females come together and spawn. The female salmon protect the eggs in a hole they cover with gravel. After which, the parent salmon die.

"Salmon give their all so they can leave behind descendants. The same is true of human beings. That's how challenging it is to produce successors.

"I hope that all of you will make the same arduous effort to pass on to your children, your grandchildren, and your juniors in faith, all that you have learnt and accumulated in your lives through your Buddhist practice. Continuing to kindle the flame of faith in those around you is how we ensure the eternal perpetuation of the Law."
