-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The absence of problems doesn't equal happiness.
It's only the strength we gain by overcoming hardships
that enables us to savour true happiness.
Become courageous champions
of the "never defeated spirit!"

"Whether or not your prayer is answered will depend on your faith; [if it is not] I will in no way be to blame."
(Reply to the Lay Nun Nichigon

"Please avoid one-sided communication, and instead create an environment that makes it easy for people to ask questions, clarify points they don't understand, or seek guidance.
"Whenever someone asked Mr. Toda the kind of question that everyone wanted to ask or that provided the opportunity to talk about the deep principles of Buddhism, he would praise the questioner, saying: 'That's an excellent question! Thank you!'
"When discussions are filled with seeking spirit, members gain understanding and confidence. That understanding invigorates members' faith and allows them to take on new challenges."
SGI Newsletter No. 9301, Humanistic Teachings for Victory, Let's Initiate a New "Meeting Revolution," Conviction Leads to Taking On New Challenges, from 5th Feb., 2014, issue of the Soka Shimpo, translation released 28th Sep. 2015
