-- Words of the Week --
Let's celebrate our shining
SGI Mother's Day (May 3rd)
with a "salute"
of the utmost appreciation and respect
to all mothers!
And together with our
sun-like Women's Division members,
let's stride cheerfully and in lively spirits.
Let's all expand our network
of friendship and trust!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Although I and my disciples may encounter various difficulties, if we do not harbour doubts in our hearts, we will as a matter of course attain Buddhahood. Do not have doubts simply because heaven does not lend you protection. Do not be discouraged because you do not enjoy an easy and secure existence in this life."
(The Opening of the Eyes
- WND, Vol. I, page 234)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"People who have realised their dreams all have certain qualities in common—determination and effort.
"Some claim that, in the end, success has more to do with talent than effort, but I insist that there is no greater talent than the talent for making efforts. It's a talent that all of us possess.
"There are times when things don't turn out as we wish in spite of the effort we put in. Sometimes we fail and are left feeling frustrated and disappointed. But through making efforts, we can polish our character, deepen and strengthen ourselves as human beings, and become kinder and more considerate of others."
