Our uncrowned heroes and heroines,
the deliverers of our SGI publications

We are chanting for your good health and happiness.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"In judging the relative merit of Buddhist doctrines, I, Nichiren, believe that the best standards are those of reason and documentary proof. And even more valuable than reason and documentary proof is the proof of actual fact."

(Three Tripitaka Masters Pray for Rain 
- The WND, Vol. 1, page 599)  
Selection Source: "Kyo no Hosshin",
Seikyo Shimbun, December 21st, 2013

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"'Faith for a harmonious family' is an eternal guideline articulated by second Soka Gakkai president Josei Toda.

"A bright, positive family joined by ties of trust and affection is a reflection of a pure and rich spirit. It is also both the first step and ultimate goal in our efforts to build a world of peace and happiness.

"Over the years, countless Soka Gakkai members have transformed bleak, negative family situations into bright, happy ones. This is the proud personal history of human revolution achieved by each individual, which constitutes the strong, deep foundation of the Soka Gakkai's history."

SGI Newsletter No. 9327, The Wisdom for Creating Happiness and Peace, Part 2: Human Revolution, Chapter 15: "Faith for a Harmonious Family," 15.1 Our Own Human Revolution Is the Key to Achieving Family Harmony, from the November 2015 issue of the Daibyakurenge, translation released 17th Dec., 2015
