-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Our friendships are our greatest treasures.
Let's always treasure and cherish our old friendships 
while at the same time develop new ones
through fresh new encounters!
Our sincerity and concern along with a vibrant smile 
opens the door to people's hearts!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"If in a single moment of life we exhaust the pains and trials of millions of kalpas, then instant after instant there will arise in us the three Buddha bodies with which we are eternally endowed. Nam-myoho-renge-kyo is just such a 'diligent' practice."

(The Essential Passage in Each of the Twenty-eight Chapters of the Lotus Sutra, Emerging from the Earth 
- The Record of the Orally
Transmitted Teachings, page 214)
Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin",

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The way of life you choose determines your future. No one else makes the decision. No one else is to blame. It's entirely up to you, to how you live your life.

"If you just let your environment control you, it becomes the main actor in your life. That is a regrettable way to live. You are the main actor, the one who determines the course of your own life."

SGI Newsletter No. 9388, The Wisdom for Creating Happiness and Peace, Part 2: Human Revolution, Chap. 17: Message for Youth [Part 2 of 4], 17.7 Live with an Invincible Spirit, from the January 2016 issue of the Daibyakurenge, translation released 22nd April, 2016
