--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Although I and my disciples may encounter various difficulties, if we
do not harbour doubts in our hearts, we will as a matter of course
attain Buddhahood."

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"No matter what your situation, everything changes and starts anew from the day you stand up with a renewed spirit and a fresh determination.

"Strive to be able to proclaim each and every day: 'I won!' 'I was able to have courage!' 'I was able to take a step forwards!'

"I hope a solid commitment to 'the fulfillment of the great vow for kosen-rufu through the compassionate propagation of the great Law' will always shine brightly in your hearts and minds.

"Energetically carrying out your own human revolution, changing yourself rather than trying to change others, and taking action yourself, instead of relying on others—those who strive with such a spirit are sure to win. This is the kind of resolve with which I have lived my life."

SGI Newsletter No. 8837, On Our Shared Journey for Kosen-rufu—II, (16) Start Each New Day with a Fresh Determination, from 21st April, 2013, issue of the Seikyo Shimbun, translated 12th Sep. 2013
