— TO MY FRIENDS --
All of our SGI gatherings are "the" places
where this philosophy for happiness and prosperity
can be shared with the local community!
Let's, therefore, invite as many of the local people and our friends as possible
to come and participate in conversations that will inspire hope in one and all!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Therefore, one should by all means persist in preaching the Lotus Sutra and causing them to hear it. Those who put their faith in it will surely attain Buddhahood, while those who slander it will establish a 'poison-drum relationship' with it and will likewise attain Buddhahood. In any event, the seeds of Buddhahood exist nowhere apart from the Lotus Sutra."

(How Those Initially Aspiring to the Way Can Attain Buddhahood through the Lotus Sutra - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 882) Selection source: SGI President Ikeda's guidance, Seikyo Shimbun, October 27th, 2013
