-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's begin all new endeavours
together with the Gosho!
Even if it might only be a line or passage,

let's try to make the effort 

to study the Gosho every day.
Let's make this a summer 

with a challenging spirit
and a seeking mind.

--- 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 Orall Transmitted Teachings,

 page 214)
Selection Source: "Kyo no Hosshin",

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----

"'One is the mother of ten thousand' (WND-1, 131), says a proverb cited by the Daishonin. People won't know the true greatness of our movement unless we communicate it to them. Talking to others about our life-affirming philosophy spreads hope, increases the number of people who form a connection with Buddhism, and brings benefit to ourselves and others."

SGI Newsletter No. 9431, Creating the New Era (16) Spreading Hope through Dialogue, from 4th June, 2016, issue of the Seikyo Shinbun, translation released 29th July, 2016
