The one step taken today
opens up the path to tomorrow's victory.

With faith based on the Buddhist principle of true cause,
let's boldly and energetically take on challenges from here on.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"A blue fly, if it clings to the tail of a thoroughbred horse, can travel ten thousand miles, and the green ivy that twines around the tall pine can grow to a thousand feet."

(On Establishing the Correct Teaching for the Peace of the Land- The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol. 1, page 17) Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, June 8th, 2013

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Nikko Shonin, the Daishonin's direct disciple and successor, states: 'Until kosen-rufu is achieved, propagate the Law to the full extent of your ability without begrudging your life' (GZ, 1618).[1]

"The long road to kosen-rufu begins with the courageous voice of a single individual. Sincere dialogue is also the first step on the road to world peace.

"Let's joyfully share our beliefs with others. Let's confidently convey what is in our hearts.

"From May, the month in which we celebrate the SGI's 'New Year's Day' (on May 3), let us press on into June, the month of the women's division, and July, the month of victory of the youth division—and onwards further to November, the glorious month of the Soka Gakkai's founding, when our new Headquarters will be completed."
