A translation of "To My Friends" published in the Seikyo Shinbun based on President Ikeda's recent guidance, and more.
-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Friendships are indeed
a priceless treasure of life.
If and when we have the opportunity
to go back "home,"
let's try to spend some time with relatives
and/or old friends!
Meeting someone in person
always helps to develop
better heart-to-heart bonds.
--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"The wonderful means of truly putting an end to the physical and spiritual obstacles of all living beings is none other than Nam-myoho-renge-kyo."
"The wonderful means of truly putting an end to the physical and spiritual obstacles of all living beings is none other than Nam-myoho-renge-kyo."

--- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The Mystic Law is eternal and indestructible. We who uphold the Mystic Law and dedicate our lives to kosen-rufu have limitless hope. We must remain as unflinching as a great mountain in even the fiercest storm. What have we to fear? We, the members of the Soka Gakkai, have forged ahead, donning the armor of endurance (cf. WND-1, 392), to spread the Mystic Law with selfless dedication, just as the Daishonin teaches. The mentors and disciples of Soka have triumphed in all spheres with this unshakable spirit of faith."
