-- WORDS OF THE WEEK --
The real stage on which to act 
for worldwide kosen-rufu is
where we are right now!
By making every possible effort 
to encourage the people around us
and taking every possible opportunity 
to talk with as many people as we can,
let's round this year out 
with as many great victories and successes 
as possible!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"This I will state. Let the gods forsake me. Let all persecutions assail me. Still I will give my life for the sake of the Law."

(The Opening of the Eyes - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin Vol 1, page 280)
Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, December 7th, 2015

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"An eternal guideline for the Soka Gakkai that Mr. Toda left us is 'Faith for overcoming obstacles.' Maintaining unflinching courage in the face of momentous challenges and harsh onslaughts of obstacles is the essence of faith in Nichiren Buddhism. That is why Mr. Toda made rigorous training in the 'two ways of practice and study' (WND-1, 386) the foundation of the Soka Gakkai spirit, likening it to the forging of a master swordsman."

SGI Newsletter No. 9323, The Song of Human Victory, Traversing the Path of Victory Based on Nichiren Daishonin's Writings, from 16th Sep., 2015, issue of the Seikyo Shimbun, translation released 4th Dec. 2015
