-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Those who always have a prime point in their faith are strong
and never encounter deadlocks.
They never give up and resultantly are never defeated.
Remembering forever what we have promised ourselves to achieve,
let's soar into the future!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"More valuable than treasures in a storehouse are the treasures of the body, and the treasures of the heart are the most valuable of all. From the time you read this letter on, strive to accumulate the treasures of the heart!"

(The Three Kinds of Treasure - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 851) Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, March 28th, 2013

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Nichiren Daishonin writes of how the joy of the Law spreads from one person to another, and how merely hearing the voice of someone rejoice can cause another to rejoice in turn (cf.WND-1, 68).

"Let's take another step forwards today! Powerfully chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, which is 'the greatest of all joys' (OTT, 212), and engaging in inspiring dialogues with one friend after another, let us adorn the 760th anniversary of the Daishonin's declaration of his teaching this year [on April 28] with further triumphant progress in our movement.

"A lion's roar
resounding with truth—
your voice can free
your friends from suffering
and illuminate society."

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
