-- TO MY FRIENDS --
To our talented geniuses of Soka - the Students Division!
I hope that you will break through the any personal "walls" that hold you back
and confidently embark on the challenge of the exams ahead of you.
Let's all walk along the grand path (of kosen rufu)
where we are constantly deepening our wisdom and courage!

strong, but a person of considerable strength, when alone, may fall
down on an uneven path."

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"If one gives food to others, one will improve one's own lot, just as,
for example, if one lights a fire for others, one will brighten one's
own way."

Volume 2, page 1060)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The Soka Gakkai is a gathering of Bodhisattvas of the Earth, which is carrying out the practice of Bodhisattva Never Disparaging in the present age. As such, our fundamental spirit is to respect all people, to pray and work for the happiness of humanity, and do everything we can to help and support others.

"In the world today, there is a growing indifference towards others. Genuine humanity has fallen to the wayside as relationships based on self-interest and power hold sway. That makes it all the more crucial to build a society that is filled with human warmth and characterised by mutual respect, trust, and support."
