-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Those people who try to have high ideals in life
are the ones who lead deep and profound lives.
Such are the people our times are yearning for.
Let's use words that overflow with hope
and that have the power to encourage others!
Let's base ourselves on our great philosophy of human revolution!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"All the characters in which the Lotus Sutra is written represent
living Buddhas. But because we have the eyes of common mortals, we see them as characters. (It is like the example of the Ganges River. Hungry spirits see the waters of the river as fire, human beings see them as water, and heavenly beings see them as amrita. The waters are the same in all cases, but each type of being sees them differently, according to the effects of its karma.")
(Letter to Horen - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, page 517)

Victory - 111, Seikyo Shinbun, August 10th, 2013

"My mentor, second Soka Gakkai president Josei Toda, said: 'From now on, it's the age of the youth. We must treasure the youth, talk freely with them about everything, and communicate all our thoughts and feelings to them. The future development of our movement depends solely on having them carry on the baton.'
