To our beloved members
of the SGI brass bands and fife and drum corps,
who inspire so much hope and passion
through their concerts and parades
in various different places!
That wonderful presence you have 
inspires so many people and
breathes immense hope 
into the local communities you perform in.
May you continue 
to carry out 
and advance in your performances
as you confidently progress
in your unique roles and missions!

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"'It [the Lotus Sutra] leads one person in the realm of hell, one person in the realm of hungry spirits, and thus one person in each of the nine realms of existence to Buddhahood, and thereby the way is opened for all living beings to attain Buddhahood. The situation is like the joints in a piece of bamboo: if one joint is ruptured, then all the joints will split.'
- From "Letter to Horen" (WND-1, 512).

"One person's all-out efforts can break through existing limits. One person's success in changing their karma is a source of hope for all. One person's victory over great odds can give courage to future generations. 

"I hope you will create a fresh groundswell of development through leading by example and inspiring others to follow suit. Please value each person you meet, win their hearts, and help them form a connection with Buddhism.

"One person's breakthrough can open the way for others. One resolute step forwards can positively transform the entire situation. Always remember that the unwavering prayers and efforts of one self-reliant individual can set in motion an unstoppable momentum for victory."

SGI Newsletter No. 9428, ADVANCING WITH THE GOSHO,
(22) Creating an Unstoppable Momentum for Victory.
Translation released 22nd July, 2016 from 28th June, 2016, issue of the Seikyo Shinbun, the Soka Gakkai daily newspaper)
