Those who live out their lives

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"There is no true happiness for human beings other than chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo ... Suffer what there is to suffer, enjoy what there is to enjoy. Regard both suffering and joy as facts of life, and continue chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, no matter what happens."

(Happiness in This World - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 681) Selection source: SGI President Ikeda's message, Seikyo Shimbun, Nov 10th, 2013

—— DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ——
Advancing kosen-rufu in an age when human ties are growing increasingly tenuous means employing the "art of encouragement" and creating a truly humanistic and harmonious society where each person is valued and their dignity respected. This is my unwavering conviction.
