-- TO MY FRIENDS --
To our dear friends who carry out the noble task
of delivering the tidings of kosen-rufu
- the Seikyo Newspaper and our other SGI publications -
to our doorsteps every morning,
thank you all so much!
In this humid, sultry rainy season of the year (here in Japan)
we deeply pray that you stay in the best of good health and completely safe.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"And yet, though one might point at the earth and miss it, though one
might bind up the sky, though the tides might cease to ebb and flow
and the sun rise in the west, it could never come about that the
prayers of the practitioner of the Lotus Sutra would go unanswered."

(On Prayer - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 345)
Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, June 12, 2013
