-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Now, the new era of kosen-rufu has begun.
By mustering up our courage and
brimming with appreciation and sincerity,
let's create a surge forwards
by talking with as many different people as we possibly can.
Let's gather all of our SGI's youthful power
and open up a future full of hope!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"The 'host of sins' are karmic impediments that come from the six sense organs, and these are like frost or dew. Thus, although they exist, they can be wiped out by the sun of wisdom The 'sun of wisdom' is Nam-myoho-rebge-kyo, which Nichiren is propagating now in the Latter Day of the Law."

(Ongi kuden - Gosho Zenshu, page 786, The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings, page 205) Selection source: Buddhist Concepts, Seikyo Shimbun, October 13th, 2013

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Nichiren Daishonin writes: 'Devadatta was the foremost good friend to the Thus Come One Shakyamuni. In this age as well, it is not one's allies but one's powerful enemies who assist one's progress' (WND-1, 770).

"Today, our courageous members, champions of kosen-rufu, are forging ahead energetically, determined to break through all obstacles and limitations.

"Please strive steadily each day to create a new personal record of unprecedented challenge, effort, and success in spreading understanding for the philosophy of the SGI."
