-- TO MY FRIENDS --
It's thanks to the unseen efforts and hard work of
the District Men's and Women's Division leaders
that we are able to make such remarkable progress
in expanding the kosen-rufu movement within our local communities.
You are indeed the pillars of Soka.
Great good fortune and benefit will shine upon you eternally
across the three existences!*

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"To discard the shallow and seek the profound is the way of a person
of courage."

(On the Buddha's Prophecy - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.
1,page 402)
Selection source: Kyo no Hosshin, Seikyo Shimbun, February 28th, 2013

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"At times you may feel exhausted, lose your sense of joy, and feel as if you are just going through the motions. But if you let yourself grow passive, you will feel both powerless and unhappy.

"How you encourage yourself when that happens is in fact where the true challenge begins.

"To break out of inertia, it is important to remind yourself that our activities are all part of the noble endeavour of kosen-rufu and are honourable efforts undertaken as emissaries working on the Buddha's behalf. In addition, they are a wonderful way to make a positive contribution to society."
