-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's try to make an effort
to attend SGI meetings with our families!
Being inspired in faith and determining to practice
are the very driving force for a harmonious family.
Together,
let's advance along the highway of happiness!

"I am praying that, no matter how troubled the times may become, the Lotus Sutra and the ten demon daughters will protect all of you, praying as earnestly as though to produce fire from damp wood, or to obtain water from parched ground."
(On Rebuking Slander of the Law and Eradicating Sins - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Volume 1, page 444)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"An important driving force for the SGI to make further dynamic strides as a world religion is, first of all, the spirit to stand alone.
"The presence of courageous individuals who have awakened to their own potential for Buddhahood and are taking personal initiative to fulfil their mission for kosen-rufu will create fresh waves of change. When we change, our communities— and, further, the world—will change, too.
"Precisely because we embrace a great philosophy that teaches the inherent dignity and equality of each person, we are able to believe in our own power to stand alone, undefeated by any adversity."
SGI Newsletter No. 9260, The Song of Human Victory, Making Further Dynamic Strides as a World Religion, from 15th May, 2015, issue of the Seikyo Shimbun, translation released 1st July, 2015
