-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's offer words of warm, 
heartfelt encouragement to
all of those who are about to take 
the Buddhist Introductory Exam!
The type of memories of seniors in faith 
sincerely encouraging them and 
studying together with them 
often become the starting point 
for their dynamic development,
which will shine throughout their lives.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Entering into the relation of teacher and lay supporter is the result of a bond that bridges the three existences."

(On the Five Seasonal Festivals - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Volume II, page 375)
Selection source: "Myoji no Gen", Seikyo Shimbun, November 19th, 2015

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The Lotus Sutra teaches that human beings play the determining role in their own lives in this world of the Latter Day of the Law, which is rife with suffering and filled with the five impurities.[1]  

"…the Lotus Sutra, based on a complete or holistic view of life, teaches the fundamental great good, which is the underlying essence of all things. Put another way, it offers a practical and realistic means by which all people, whatever their situation or circumstance, can attain Buddhahood."

SGI Newsletter No. 9317, Learning from the Writings of Nichiren Daishonin: The Teachings for Victory   , [71] "On Establishing the Correct Teaching for the Peace of the Land," A Teaching for Building Happiness in the Real World, from the April 2015 issue of the Daibyakurenge, translation released 13 Nov. 2015

[1] Five impurities: Also, five defilements. They are impurity of the age, of desire, of living beings, of thought (or view), and of life span.
