* Just to forewarn you in the next few days to come some of us will be moving about the world for "vacations," at that time we may not be near any Wi-fi access so if there are delays of more than 24 or even 48 hours PLEASE wait before sending a mail asking what has happened! We will continue, but just a bit behind! This situation may occur on several occasions throughout especially late July and mid August. All the very best!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"The disciples of the Buddha must without fail understand the four debts of gratitude and know how to repay them."

(The Opening of the Eyes 
- The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, 
Volume 1, page 228)
Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", 
Seikyo Shimbun, July 19th, 2015

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Mr. Toda declared: 'When we come into contact with the Daishonin's absolute conviction and passion, we cannot help but feel the flame of faith blaze up still higher in our hearts.' [1] This is the great spirit that lies at the heart of the SGI's study movement.

"When we read the Daishonin's writings aloud in the course of efforts for kosen-rufu, the lion's roar of his golden words resonates with power and passion in our lives and the enormous power of the Buddha wells up from our inner depths."

SGI Newsletter No. 9271, Practice and Study — The Wings That Carry Us to Happiness and Eternal Victory, from the August 2015 issue of the Daibyakurenge, translation released 17th July, 2015

[1] Translated from Japanese. Josei Toda, Toda Josei Zenshu (Collected Writings of Josei Toda), (Tokyo: Seikyo Shimbunsha, 1992), vol. 1, p. 135.
