-- TO MY FRIENDS --
To all of those people who support our organisation's newspaper
and all our other SGI publications in various different ways,
thank you all so very much for all of your efforts.
You are indeed ambassadors of kosen-rufu!
May your lives be adorned with good health,
great good fortune and glorious victory!

*The Seikyo Shimbun was established on April 20th, 1951. It started as a two-page newspaper that was published every 10 days. The frequency of publication increased steadily, to once a week, twice and then three times a week, until it finally became a daily in July 1965.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"What a joy it is for us to have been born in the Latter Day of the Law and to have shared in the propagation of the Lotus Sutra! How pitiful are those who, though born in this time, cannot believe in this sutra!"

(Letter to Niike - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 1026)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Seek out friends you can trust, rely on, and consult with, and resolve to become such an individual yourself.

"Mr. Toda said: 'Make friends with even just one person whom you can share your heart with or who can teach you about faith in times of need.'

"...Since you possess within you the supreme treasure of the Mystic Law, you have nothing to fear. Even if your efforts go unnoticed by others, the Gohonzon is aware of everything, and all the Buddhas and heavenly deities throughout the universe will definitely protect you. So please don't worry about anything. Have confidence in yourself, and just do your very best."
