The way to really show how much we appreciate
the encouragement and care we have received

is to sincerely look after our younger and newer members
- this is the SGI's tradition in
how to take care of our fellow members.
Let's forever continue this "chain of hope"

"The place where the person upholds and honours the Lotus Sutra is the 'place of practise' to which the person proceeds. It is not that he leaves his present place and goes to some other place."
(Chapter Twenty-eight:
Encouragements of the Bodhisattva Universal Worthy -
The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings, page 192)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Mr. Toda remained a spiritual champion, even while imprisoned for his beliefs during World War II, continuing his unsparing struggle to defend the correct teaching of Buddhism. Based on his profound conviction that he was truly 'wealthy,' he assured his family that they were as well. In a letter he wrote to them from prison, he said: 'No matter how hard life is and how poor you are, please always be confident that you are "wealthy people." For I, too, I am living [with all my might here in prison].'
"As the disciple of this great mentor, completely united with him in spirit, I have forged ahead through every storm of adversity in my struggle for kosen-rufu. I have dedicated my life to the Mystic Law, to my mentor, and to our members. I have been fully prepared to encounter great difficulties. Overcoming every obstacle, regarding each trial as an honour, I opened the way for worldwide kosen-rufu together with our noble pioneer members.
"Now is the time for my fellow members of the men's and women's divisions and my successors in the youth division to advance triumphantly along this great and honoured path with the conviction that you are the happiest people in the world."
SGI Newsletter No. 9450, The Buddhism of the Sun—Illuminating the World, [10] The Five Eternal Guidelines of the Soka Gakkai—Part 2 [of 5], "Faith for Achieving Happiness"—"The Wealthiest Person in the Entire World", from the February 2016 issue of the Daibyaku-renge, translation released 15th Sep., 2016
