-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The strength of the SGI lies in the unity we have between us 
based on our faith!
The Gosho encourages us to chant
"with the spirit of many in body but one in mind, 
transcending all differences among themselves 
to become as inseparable as fish 
and the water in which they swim."
Together as one in mind and heart, 
let's make dynamic strides forward!

* Gosho: The Heritage of the Ultimate Law of Life - WND 1, pg 217,
"All disciples and lay supporters of Nichiren should chant
Nam-myoho-renge-kyo with the spirit of many in body but one in mind, transcending all differences among themselves to become as inseparable as fish and the water in which they swim. This spiritual bond is the basis for the universal transmission of the ultimate Law of life and death."

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"'Bring forth the great power of faith, and be spoken of by all the people of Kamakura, both high and low, or by all the people of Japan, as "Shijo Kingo, Shijo Kingo of the Lotus school!"'     

- From "Earthly Desires Are  Enlightenment" (WND-1, 319).

"Winning trust in one's workplace and community is a true expression of the Buddhist principles 'faith equals daily life' and 'Buddhism is manifested in society.' It is important that we always conduct ourselves with humanity and integrity, acting with utmost sincerity and wisdom based on faith in the Mystic Law.

"Tremendous changes are happening in society and the times. So let's summon forth the 'great power of faith' and show brilliant actual proof of victory on the stage of our mission.

"Gaining recognition that attests to the greatness of Nichiren Buddhism is a source of hope and inspiration that propels our movement forwards."
