-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's be victorious each day
by setting a fresh and invigorating pace right from the beginning of the day.
With a sonorous and powerful morning Gongyo and Daimoku
let's fill our hearts with the rising sun of hope!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"The fact that her prayers have gone unanswered is like a strong bow
with a weak bowstring, or a fine sword in the hands of a coward. It
is in no sense the fault of the Lotus Sutra."

(The Royal Palace - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, page 489)
Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, September 4th, 2013

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Mr. Toda often remarked: 'The Soka Gakkai organisation is more precious than my own life.' The pure heritage of faith in the Mystic Law flows in the SGI whose members strive in the beautiful unity of 'many in body, one in mind.' That's why we must always advance with the welfare of members as our top priority. This is all-important. Fellow members should respect and encourage one another as if they were Buddhas.

"Let's treasure each person. Let's empower each person. From there, kosen-rufu will spread far and wide—herein lies the proud mission and honour of the SGI."

SGI Newsletter No. 8832, Humanistic Teachings for Victory, (12) Youth, Stand Up with a Self-Reliant Spirit!, Leading the Way in Every Struggle, from the 18th July, 2012, issue of the Soka Shimpo, the Soka Gakkai youth division's fortnightly newspaper, translated 2nd, Sep. 2013
