-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Spring--the opportunity for us to make new friends!
Every time we go out,
let's be sure to lock up
and double check all possible fire hazards.
Let's always make safety and security our top priority
and stay completely accident free.
Let's make this the spring that absolutely brims with blossoms of dialogue!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"And the more one praises the blessings of the Lotus Sutra, the more one's own blessings will increase."

(The Blessings of the Lotus Sutra - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 673) Selection source: "Suntetsu", Seikyo Shimbun, March 24th, 2013

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"My mentor, second Soka Gakkai president Josei Toda, said: 'When we dedicate ourselves fully to the great vow of kosen-rufu, our lives brim with the same power, good fortune, and benefit as the Daishonin, with the same boundless joy that he felt. Faith in Nichiren Daishonin's Buddhism means having indestructible courage. The courageous faith of a single individual opens the way to victory in all things.'"
SGI Newsletter No. 8735, SGI President Ikeda's Editorial, Spreading Joy from One Person to Another, from the April 2013 issue of the Daibyakurenge, translated 18th March 2013
