-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Starting with our local discussion meeting,
let's aim towards the glorious date of November 18th!
Giving warm encouragement to those friends
who are struggling to overcome various different problems
and at the same time praising all of our members
who have dedicated themselves so selflessly to achieving kosen-rufu,
let's advance together in harmonious unity.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"And yet, though one might point at the earth and miss it, though one might bind up the sky, though the tides might cease to ebb and flow and the sun rise in the west, it could never come about that the prayers of the practitioner of the Lotus Sutra would go unanswered."

(On Prayer - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Volume 1, page 345) Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, September 20th, 2013

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Second Soka Gakkai president Josei Toda often said: 'Kosen-rufu is a lifelong struggle- no, an eternal struggle. No matter how fiercely the storms of adversity may blow, never give up! . . . When the critical moment arrives, let out a resounding battle cry and advance into the fray!'"
