-- TO MY FRIENDS --
When one is at a crossroads in one's life,
those who have a starting point, a raison d'etre, for their dreams
are strong.
To all of my dear young friends,
live out your lives to the full and fulfil the vow
that you yourselves make in your youth.
Let's advance with the type of courage
that can never be quashed or defeated!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"A woman who makes offerings to such a Gohonzon invites happiness in this life, and in the next, the Gohonzon will be with her and protect her always. Like a lantern in the dark, like a strong guide and porter on a treacherous mountain path, the Gohonzon will guard and protect you, Nichinyo, wherever you go. "

(The Real Aspect of the Gohonzon - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, WND-I, page 832) Selection source: SGI President Ikeda's guidance, Seikyo Shimbun, March 23rd, 2014

—— DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ——
"Everything is constantly changing. Like a flowing river, everything moves onward inexorably, never stopping for a moment. In the midst of such unending flux, our faith in the Mystic Law is the ultimate force that can limitlessly propel our lives and those of others in the direction of hope, happiness, and peace."
