-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Our faith and practice enable us
to make boundless self development and growth.
Let's break down those self-constructed walls in our hearts
and unlock our full potential!
By first and foremost chanting daimoku with a strong determination,
let's today, too, engage in courageous dialogue with others!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"When you shake your head, your hair sways; when your mind begins to work, your body moves. When a strong wind blows, the grass and trees can no longer remain still; when the earth shakes, the seas are atremble. Thus if one can move Shakyamuni Buddha, the lord of teachings, can the grass and trees fail to respond, can the waters remain calm?"

(Concerning the Statue of Shakyamuni Buddha Fasioned by Nichigen-nyo - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol. 2, page 811) Selection source: SGI President Ikeda's guidance, Seikyo Shimbun, June 2nd, 2013

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"'Thank you' is a 'magic word' that brings joy to both the person who says it and the person who hears it. Those who feel and express appreciation have beautiful hearts. Those who can appreciate others' kindness will grow into leaders who can work for the happiness of others.

"The Daishonin constantly thanked his followers. He never failed to express appreciation for their sincerity, sending them letters upon letters of encouragement.

"I will say 'thank you' again today, cherishing the belief and wish that when we all show greater appreciation for one another, the world will become a happier and more peaceful place."
