-- TO MY FRIENDS --
"We're going to make our district the world's greatest!"
When we chant daimoku
with such a dynamic and lofty determination,
our life condition unfolds boundlessly.
Now, let's put our faith into action and
share this Buddhism and its philosophy with others,
with light-hearted steps and enthusiasm!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Yet Shakyamuni Buddha will enfold in his robe those who nonetheless persevere in propagating. Heavenly gods will make them offerings, support them with their shoulders, and carry them on their backs."

(The True Aspect of All Phenomena
WND, Vol. I, page 385)

SGI President Ikeda's guidance, Seikyo Shinbun,

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Konosuke Matsushita (1894–1989), the founder of Panasonic Corporation, the global electronics company believed that if you set your mind to it and advance with hope and optimism, you could achieve anything, and that you improve and grow by continuing to ask the question 'Why?' and think about things.

"This is absolutely true. You can always find a way, wherever you are and whatever the time, if you make up your mind and continue striving to learn with a positive attitude.

"Being curious, asking questions, and looking things up to find the answer not only makes you smarter, but is also enjoyable and encouraging.

"Learning is light. You will keep growing if you continuously pursue the light of learning. And, as you grow, you can impart the light of hope, happiness, and peace to those around you.

"Let's strive to learn! Let's begin now!

"Have faith in your own boundless potential!"
