-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Today, once again, let's challenge something new!
Let's constantly make the effort to polish our lives.
Being youthful means to have passion, 
to eternally have the spirit to pursue self improvement 
and to advance.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"The fact that her prayers have gone unanswered is like a strong bow with a weak bowstring, or a fine sword in the hands of a coward.  It is in no sense the fault of the Lotus Sutra."

(The Royal Palace - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, page 489)
Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, April 2nd, 2014

Thursday, April 3rd, 2014
---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"​There is no need to dwell on the past or have regrets; no need to compare yourself unfavourably to others, or to focus only on what you are unable to do. Instead of looking to the past, look to the future. Instead of being jealous of others and thinking about what you can't do, start from what you can do now at your own pace.

​"Those who are able to make full use of their capabilities are the real winners in life. Even when everything seems hopeless, it's important to continue doing your best.Everyone has the ability to try. The future is always filled with hope."


SGI Newsletter No. 8967 Dialogue for the Future: Traveling the Path of Victory Together with You [19] Envisioning a Hope-filled Future Together, translation released 27th March, 2014
