-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's make a point of looking for and applauding the efforts
of those who are making steady and sincere efforts.
Encouraging one individual after another,
sending out rays of hope -
this is the wonderful world of Soka!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"There should be no discrimination among those who propagate the five
characters of Myoho-renge-kyo in the Latter Day of the Law, be they
men or women. Were they not Bodhisattvas of the Earth, they could not
chant the daimoku."

(The True Aspect of All Phenomena - The Writings of Nichiren
Daishonin, Vol. 1, page 385)
Selection source: President Ikeda's Essay, Seikyo Shimbun, February 13th, 2013

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Our convictions, words, and actions as individuals who practise the Daishonin's Buddhism should reflect our commitment to helping others. Faith manifests itself in daily life. We can be said to be genuinely practising the Daishonin's Buddhism when our daily lives are a natural expression of our Buddhist faith and help spread the Mystic Law."
