-- TO MY FRIENDS --
As leaders, let's always respond with lightening speed to what our friends tell us
or requests for advice and encouragement.
Our sincerity and seriousness of intent is visible
in the speed with which we take action.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Therefore, those who become Nichiren's disciples and lay believers
should realise the profound karmic relationship they share with him
and spread the Lotus Sutra as he does. Being known as a votary of the
Lotus Sutra is a bitter, yet unavoidable, destiny."

(Letter to Jakunichi-bo - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol. 1, page 994)

—— DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"One person's victory can transform a workplace and even an entire community.
            
"The towering spirit of our members—'Heroes of the World'—shines like the sun, undefeated by difficult economic times and natural disasters, bringing peace and happiness to society.
            
"Let us once again today, with indestructible faith, make the lion's roar of daimoku resound, and strive to create the greatest possible value we can through our sincere efforts, whether or not others are aware of them.
 
"The presence of our members,
bravely challenging difficulties
in this troubled age,
brings smiles of hope
to society and the world."

SGI Newsletter No. 8978, Winning through Faith as "Heroes of the World," translation from the May 2014 issue of the Daibyakurenge released 18th April 2014
