-- TO MY FRIENDS --
It's in the midst of the realities of daily life
that our lives are trained and forged.
My dear friends of the Youth Division, successors of Soka,
today, too take on new challenges!
And may we all shine victoriously
upon the stage of our respective roles in life!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"It is said that, if a teacher has a good disciple, both will gain the fruit of Buddhahood, but if a teacher fosters a bad disciple, both will fall into hell. If teacher and disciple are of different minds, they will never accomplish anything."

(Flowering and Bearing Grain - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 909)
Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, May 23rd, 2013

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Gaining proficiency in Buddhist study—requiring a rigour and diligence that can be likened to training with a master swordsman—is a Soka Gakkai tradition, and the organisation must never depart from this fundamental spirit. But it is important to ensure that systems are modified and updated to keep pace with the times. When an organisation fails to respond promptly to changing times, it will become rigid and in-adaptable."

SGI Newsletter No. 8765, The New Human Revolution––Vol. 26: Chap. 2, Banner of the Law 21, translated 17th May, 2013
