--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"The moon appears in the west and sheds its light eastward, but the sun rises in the east and casts its rays to the west. The same is true of Buddhism. It spreads from west to east in the Former and Middle Days of the Law, but will travel from east to west in the Latter Day."

(On the Buddha's Prophecy 
- WND, Vol 1, page 401) 
Selection source: 
BSG (SGI India) leader's essay, 
Seikyo Shimbun, Jan. 1st, 2016

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Tsunesaburo Makiguchi, the Soka Gakkai's founding president, warned that we must not be mere 'passive believers' concerned solely with our own welfare.

"Putting their whole being into chanting daimoku that resounds throughout the universe, our heroic members actively engage in bodhisattva practice with courage, sincerity, and perseverance. That is what makes them strong and undefeatable.

"Is there any nobler state of life than this? Responding to this supremely noble commitment of our members, the heavenly deities and all Buddhas and bodhisattvas are stirred into resolute action to protect them."

SGI Newsletter No. 9328, "This Is My Vow, and I Will Never Forsake It!", from the January 2016 issue of the Daibyakurenge, translation released 18th Dec. 2015
