-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's make sure that we show 
 our utmost respect and appreciation 
  to all of those members 
   who are so kind to offer their homes
    for SGI meetings and our other activities!
It's because we have such treasure castles
 that we can advance closer towards kosen-rufu.
Let's all take very special care of these places
 and expand the trust we have 
  with the people in our local community!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Although Nichiren and his followers are few, because they are different in body, but united in mind, they will definitely accomplish their great mission of widely propagating the Lotus Sutra."

(Many in Body, One in Mind 
- WND, Vol. I, page 618)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"In The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings, Nichiren Daishonin states: 'Nichiren and his followers, who chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, are just such bodhisattvas who emerge from the earth. One should not seek for such bodhisattvas anywhere else' (OTT, 233).

"Nichiren Daishonin initiated the practice of chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, which is the powerful sound that calls forth the Bodhisattvas of the Earth on our planet.

"Wherever the chanting of Nam-myoho-renge-kyo for the happiness of oneself and others resounds, Bodhisattvas of the Earth will steadily emerge."

SGI Newsletter No. 9424, Bodhisattvas of the Earth Emerging in a Steady Stream, from the editorial of the August 2016 issue of the Daibyakurenge, translation released 15th July, 2016.
