-- TO MY FRIENDS --
-- TO MY FRIENDS --
For those who constantly
try to challenge themselves
to study and learn
there is no such thing as deadlock.
They lead beautiful and fulfilling lives
with strong confidence.
Let's all therefore,
throughout our lives,
develop a never ceasing seeking spirit.
--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Anyone who teaches others even a single phrase of the Lotus Sutra is the envoy of the Thus Come One."
(A Ship to Cross the Sea of Suffering
- WND, Vol.I, page 33)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The life of an individual is limited. But when the fundamental spirit of striving for kosen-rufu is passed on from mentor to disciples, and those disciples continue their efforts as a group or organisation over time, that body of practitioners comes to possess the enduring life force of the Buddha ceaselessly guiding people to happiness."
SGI Newsletter No. 9677, The New Human Revolution––Vol. 30: Chap. 1 Great Mountain 56, translation released 2nd Aug. 2017.
