A translation of President Ikeda's "To My Friends"
published in the Seikyo Shimbun and more.
Saturday, March 12th, 2016
-- TO MY FRIENDS --
"For the sake of every single person's happiness.
To treasure each and every person." --
This is what the spirit of the SGI is!
Today also, by doing all that is possible,
and more,
to understand the sufferings and concerns of
our fellow members who are facing hard times
(and chanting for them and with them),
let's offer as much warm heartfelt encouragement
as we can.

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"People, just like flowers, need light. People's hearts wither when no one values or cares about them. So please be the sun that imparts bright light to all.
"People, like flowers, also need water. Our hearts wither if we don't encourage ourselves, make ourselves happy, and spark our own enthusiasm.
"Those who can encourage themselves are truly inspiring. They understand the pain and suffering of others. Find the words, strength, and wisdom to bring happiness to your own heart. When you're feeling down, lift up your own spirits.
"If you can't like yourself, you can't love others."
