Here we are at last in March,
the month of great activity and enthusiasm.
With fresh, vibrant energy

With hope-filled conversations blossoming fragrantly
let's plant flowers of smiles wherever we go!

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Encouraging and being encouraged. . . Through this back and forth, the pledge made by one person inspires another's pledge, arousing the power of hope that enables people to remain unbowed even in the face of great difficulty. This life-to-life catalyzation is at the heart of the SGI discussion meeting.

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Encouraging and being encouraged. . . Through this back and forth, the pledge made by one person inspires another's pledge, arousing the power of hope that enables people to remain unbowed even in the face of great difficulty. This life-to-life catalyzation is at the heart of the SGI discussion meeting.
"Today, our discussion meetings are held in countries throughout the world. People from all walks of life across differences of age and gender, social standing and circumstance, gather as residents of a community to listen to each individual's unique life story and expressions of deeply held feeling. Together, participants renew their sense of determination and commitment.
"The discussion meeting is central to the SGI's efforts for empowerment by, for and of the people; it is an embodiment of our sense of mission within society. Through it, we seek to revive awareness of the weightiness and unlimited possibilities of each person's life, something that is all too often obscured amidst the expanding and increasingly complex threats facing our world.
"This is the source of energy driving our activities for peace and in support of the UN, giving form to the continuity between religious practice and social engagement. Through these twin efforts, we continuously reaffirm our pledge never to seek happiness at the expense of others and to enable those who have suffered most to realise their right to happiness, and in this way bring into being a world in which the human dignity of all people can truly flourish."
