-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The progress we make today
decides the victories we achieve tomorrow.
Let's make each and every day count
as we put our very best into making
Let's make each and every day count
as we put our very best into making
what we are doing successful!
Let's also leave no regrets behind

as we write a golden history!

"And yet, though one might point at the earth and miss it, though one might bind up the sky, though the tides might cease to ebb and flow and the sun rise in the west, it could never come about that the prayers of the practitioner of the Lotus Sutra would go unanswered."

SGI President Ikeda's Essay,

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"My mentor, second Soka Gakkai president Josei Toda, said that we were born into this world to enjoy our existence, as indicated by the phrase in the Lotus Sutra that describes the ideal world as a place 'where living beings enjoy themselves at ease' (LSOC16, 272). 'Life will be a chore if we don't enjoy it,' he asserted. 'When we wholeheartedly believe in the Gohonzon, life becomes inherently enjoyable, and we can derive pleasure from everything we do.'
"Chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo ourselves and teaching others to do the same is the driving force for leading a life that abounds with 'the greatest of all joys' (OTT, 212). Through our tireless efforts for kosen-rufu, we can overcome our own problems and worries and expand our life state to one of absolute happiness that nothing can destroy."
