-- TO MY FRIENDS --
It's through taking dedicated altruistic actions
that we can, at the same time, enrich our own lives.
Let's do all we can to expand the world of the SGI
where everyone empathises with other people's sufferings
(and chants together with them),
and shares all kinds of joy.

"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 Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Volume I, page 599)
Selection source: Buddhist study for new members, Seikyo Shimbun, March 5th, 2016

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Bodhisattva Never Disparaging, undeterred by harsh slander and abuse, continued to tell everyone he met that they possessed the Buddha nature. In the same way, our members persevere in the infinitely noble Buddhist practice of the Lotus Sutra, without giving up or being discouraged. Because they are steadfast in their efforts, they are unshakable. They are never defeated. This is the strength and depth of the Soka Gakkai."
