-- TO MY FRIENDS --
-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Children possess limitless
potential and possibilities.
Let's encourage them to do
whatever they feel capable of
and praise them for whatever
they accomplish.
Carefully try not to miss
even the slightest improvement
they have made,
don't ever overlook any opportunity
to motivate their minds!

--- 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. 1, page 283)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Nichiren Buddhism teaches that one day of life is more precious than all the treasures of the universe (cf. WND-1, 955).
That's why we must make each day count and live each day to the fullest.... Seize the day and rise to every challenge. By doing so, you will develop strong, limitless power that you can use for the sake of the future, the world, and humanity."
SGI Newsletter No. 9676, Spread Your Wings towards the Future, translation released 2nd Aug. 2017.
