-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Today, once again, 
let's cheerfully and courageously
go out into the midst of 
where others are!
Through our gesture of friendship
and by regularly visiting 
and warmly encouraging others
let's build new bonds 
that help us to connect with each other!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Believe in this mandala with all your heart. Nam-myoho-renge-kyo is like the roar of a lion. What sickness can therefore be an obstacle?"

(Reply to Kyō-ō 
- WND, Vol 1, page 412)
Selection source: Teachings of Buddhism,

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The Daishonin offers the following words of encouragement to one of his disciples [the lay nun Myoho]: 'A person who stumbles and falls to the ground pushes themselves up from the ground and rises to their feet again' (WND-1, 882).

"In the course of life's long journey, there may be times when we trip and fall. But that doesn't mean it's all over. We just need to get back up again. Faith in the Mystic Law is the source of hope that enables us to do so."

SGI Newsletter No. 9393, Editorial, A Triumphant Song of Happiness for the 65th Anniversary of the Women's Division, from the June 2016 issue of the Daibyakurenge, translation released 16th May, 2016
