-- TO MY FRIENDS --
It is most certain that Nichiren Daishonin is
admiring the outstanding progress of the SGI
which is precisely carrying out the Buddha's will and decree.
Together with our fellow members all over the world,
let's expand our hope-filled solidarity far and wide!

"Nam-myoho-renge-kyo is like the roar of a lion. What sickness can therefore be an obstacle?"

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"As leaders, please chant daimoku wholeheartedly and devote yourselves all out for the sake of kosen-rufu and your fellow members.
"Nichiren Daishonin writes: 'If one can move Shakyamuni Buddha, the lord of teachings, can the grass and trees fail to respond, can the waters remain calm?' (WND-2, 811). Earnestly chanting before the Gohonzon sets everything in motion.
"Let's help as many people as possible move their lives in the direction of happiness, hope, and peace."
