-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Nichiren Buddhism is indeed
the world's most hope-filled philosophy.
Whoever continues to study it to the end
is a true champion.
At the same time,
to all of those who are helping those taking our Buddhist study exams,
thank you all from the bottom of my heart for your kind and caring support!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Only by defeating a powerful enemy can one prove one's real strength."

(Letter from Sado - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 302) Selection source: SGI President Ikeda's guidance, Seikyo Shimbun, September 29th, 2013

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"No matter what difficulties we encounter, it's important that we live with fortitude and strength. Everyone has problems and sufferings. We mustn't let them defeat us. We practise the Daishonin's Buddhism so as not to be defeated.

"When we strive wholeheartedly for kosen-rufu, the benefit we gain is immeasurable.

"Second Soka Gakkai president Josei Toda always said: 'Have invincible courage! Have an indomitable fighting spirit! They are the driving force for realising happiness.'"
