-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin are the wellspring of hope.
Even if we can spare only a small amount of time,
let's always try to make the effort to read the Gosho every day.
It's the accumulation of such efforts that helps fortify
the dauntless and formidable foundation of our lives!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"I am praying that, no matter how troubled the times may become, the Lotus Sutra and the ten demon daughters will protect all of you, praying as earnestly as though to produce fire from damp wood, or to obtain water from parched ground."

(On Rebuking Slander of the Law and Eradicating Sins - The Writings of Nichiren Dashonin, Vol. 1, page )
Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, April 4th, 2013

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"One's position in the organisation and the level of one's faith are not the same thing. It is those who exert themselves vigourously in activities and are able to offer appropriate guidance, who have outstanding faith and will be praised by the Gohonzon.

"With the awareness that you are ambassadors of the Soka Gakkai in your communities, please expand the circle of trust around you."
