-- TO MY FRIENDS --
December, the busiest month of the year has begun.
Let's put forth our very best each and every day
so that we can complete this year without any regrets.
Let's try to write a glorious history in our lives,
that we can be proud of,
by accomplishing all of our goals and targets!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"The more gold is heated in the flames, the brighter will be its color; the more a sword is whetted, the sharper it will become. And the more one praises the blessings of the Lotus Sutra, the more one's own blessings will increase."

(The Blessings of the Lotus Sutra - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol. 1, page 673) Selection source: SGI President Ikeda's guidance, Seikyo Shimbun, December 1st, 2013

—— DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Whether our home and family relationships move in the direction of harmony and become a 'pure land,' or end up more strained and unpleasant, becoming an 'impure land,' all depends on our inner determination.

"Chant daimoku earnestly to polish your character and cultivate a big, kind heart to warmly embrace your family, a strong invincible spirit, and rich wisdom. Bringing flowers of happiness to bloom in your family will become a powerful force for advancing kosen-rufu in your community."

SGI Newsletter No. 8872, The New Human Revolution -- Vol. 26: Chap. 3, Valiant Leaders 14, translated 20th Nov. 2013.
