-- TO MY FRIENDS --
It is certain that those who are devoting themselves
for the sake of kosen-rufu behind the scenes 
will shine brilliantly and be adorned 
with the great benefits of the Mystic Law.
To all of our fellow members 
who are so selflessly dedicating themselves
to protecting and supporting the SGI,
let's be sure to express our deepest appreciation
from the bottom of our hearts!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Be deeply convinced, then, that your illness cannot possibly persist, and that your life cannot fail to be extended! Take care of yourself, and do not burden your mind with grief."

(The Bow and Arrow 
- WND, Vol. 1, page 656) 
Selection source: Buddhist study, 
Seikyo Shimbun, Dec. 22nd, 2015

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The key to creating a new era is action.

"Ultimately, the Buddhism of the sun is found in efforts to encourage and revitalise all those who are suffering, whatever the time or wherever the place.

"'The Supernatural Powers of the Thus Come One' (21st) chapter of the Lotus Sutra describes the conduct of Bodhisattva Superior Practices and the other Bodhisattvas of the Earth as follows:

"'As the light of the sun and moon    
can banish all obscurity and gloom,    
so this person as he advances through the world    
can wipe out the darkness of living beings.' (LSOC21, 318) 
 
"Both Mr. Makiguchi and Mr. Toda found great meaning in this passage.

"'Advances through the world' (LSOC21, 318) means to walk the land, to be active in society. The Bodhisattvas of the Earth are active in the real world, building relationships with one individual after another, dispelling the darkness of suffering, and imparting the strength to live and the light of the joy of living."

SGI Newsletter No. 9329, The Buddhism of the Sun—Illuminating the World , [1] "On Reprimanding Hachiman", Forging Ahead Courageously in the New Era of Worldwide Kosen-rufu, from the May 2015 issue of the Daibyakurenge, translation released 18th Dec. 2015
