— TO MY FRIENDS ---
The true value of one's faith manifests itself
in one's actions.
No matter what kind of situation we might be in,
let's never ever forget to challenge ourselves with enthusiasm.
Let's live out our lives by fulfilling the vow that we have made!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"That ordinary people born in the latter age can believe in the Lotus Sutra is due to the fact that the world of Buddhahood is present in the human world."

(The Object of Devotion for Observing the Mind 
Established in the Fifth Five-Hundred-Year Period 
after the Thus Come One's Passing 
- The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, 
Volume 1, page 358)
Selection source: 
SGI President Ikeda's guidance, Seikyo Shimbun,

Saturday, September 12th, 2015
---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"'That ordinary people born in the latter age can believe in the Lotus Sutra is due to the fact that the world of Buddhahood is present in the human world [the world of Humanity].'
- From "The Object of Devotion for Observing the Mind" (WND-1, 358).

"Belief in the Mystic Law arises because all people possess within them the life state of Buddhahood. The purpose of our efforts to reach out and talk to others about Nichiren Buddhism is to respond to the fervent wish that resides in the hearts of all people to bring forth the  supreme brilliance of their lives.

"There is no need to be uptight or intense. Just be yourself and reach out to others naturally based on a genuine wish for their happiness, seeking to awaken their own belief in the limitless potential of their lives. The act of engaging in such Buddhist dialogue is truly respectworthy, drawing forth the world of Buddhahood in both oneself and others."

SGI Newsletter No. 9293, Living the Gosho: Words of Encouragement (65), Drawing Forth the Supreme State of Life, from 11th Sep., Seikyo Shimbun, translation released 11th Sep, 2015.
