-- TO MY FRIENDS --
All members of the SGI family have the type of faith
by which we can bring force to change poison into medicine.
With "courage" instead of "misery and grief" and
with a sense of "mission" rather than "destiny,"
let's open up a path to happiness for our self and others!

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"When we look back at the times we really suffered, the times we thought were the most miserable, we see that these were the most precious times of all.

"That's why we need to grapple with our problems head-on, instead of trying to escape them. That is the most direct way forwards.

"If you're sad and lonely, then you should acknowledge those feelings. Don't try to distract yourself from them with shallow amusements. Don't diminish them. Go through those feelings, bravely weather them, and turn them into nourishment for your growth."

SGI Newsletter No. 9366, The Wisdom for Creating Happiness and Peace, Part 2: Human Revolution, 17.2 The Problems of Youth Are Themselves a Source of Light, translation released 8th March, 2016
