-- TO MY FRIENDS --
"My wish is that all of my fellow members, 
without a single exception, 
within the area I live, 
will lead a happy life!"
With this unyielding determination,
let's try to inspire every one of them
with absolute conviction.
By showing the utmost of sincerity,
first and foremost, 
let's advance towards achieving this!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"If we inquire into the origin of Mount Sumeru, we find that it began with a single speck of dust; and likewise, the great ocean began with a single drop of dew. One added to one becomes two, two becomes three, and so on to make ten, a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand, a hundred thousand, or an asamkhya. Yet "one" is the mother of all."

(The Blessings of the Lotus Sutra 
- The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin 
Vol. 1, page 667) 
Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin," 
Seikyo Shimbun, Sep. 6th, 2015

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Though everyone in the world seeks peace, the history of war and conflict has continued to repeat itself. Some people have given up, thinking there's nothing they can do as individuals.

"The physicist Hideki Yukawa (1907–81), the first Japanese to win the Nobel Prize, was one who believed that as long as people continue to strongly seek peace and desire to lead happy lives, there will definitely be a way to achieve those things."

SGI Newsletter No. 9289, Rainbow of Hope—Great Figures of the World, [10] Hideki Yukawa, Physicist: Strive to Take a Step Forward for Peace, from 1st Jan., 2015, issue of Boys and Girls Hope News, the Soka Gakkai monthly newspaper for the boys and girls division, translation released 31st Aug., 2015
