-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Making the Gosho the fundamental guide for our existence
is the way to stay in the correct orbit of life.
With pride in our hearts as members of the Soka family
having a direct connection to the Daishonin,
let's advance,
exerting ourselves in the two ways of practice and study*!
*Gosho: "Exert yourself in the two ways of practice and study. Without practice and study, there can be no Buddhism. You must not only persevere yourself; you must also teach others. Both practice and study arise from faith"

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"It is rare to be born a human being. The number of those endowed with human life is as small as the amount of earth one can place on a fingernail. Life as a human being is hard to sustain—as hard as it is for the dew to remain on the grass. But it is better to live a single day with honour than to live to 120 and die in disgrace."
