-- TO MY FRIENDS --
No matter what the hardship we may be undergoing,
we undoubtedly have what it is takes to overcome it!
Our practice gives us indomitable strength.
With powerful and focused Daimoku,
let's make the sun of hope rise in our hearts!

"Tell them to be prepared for the worst, and not to expect good times, but take the bad times for granted."
(On Persecutions Befalling the Sage

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The joy spread by our young successors in their efforts to share Buddhism with others is certain to contribute to the dynamic development of their communities. Such effort is supported by the sincere encouragement from members of the entire Soka family. By transforming limitless gratitude into energy for further progress, we can take one fresh step forwards after another. No matter how the times may change, it is vital that the Soka Gakkai tradition of treasuring the person right in front of us remain unchanged.
