-- TO MY FRIENDS --
-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's put strong emphasis on
leading a rhythmical daily life,
based on "faith equals daily life!"
Let's begin each and every day with
an invigorating gongyo
and refreshing daimoku!
This is the way to certain victory!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"What can we say, then, of persons who are devoting themselves to Buddhism? Surely they should not forget the debts of gratitude they owe to their parents, their teachers, and their country."
(On Repaying Debts of Gratitude
- WND, Vol. 1, page 690)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Mr. Toda firmly believed that anyone who read the Gosho, which brimmed with the power of Nichiren Daishonin, the Buddha of the Latter Day of the Law, would be able to overcome the sufferings of birth, ageing, sickness, and death, and attain a life state imbued with the noble virtues of the Buddha—eternity, joy, true self, and purity.
"The Daishonin's writings illuminate the ultimate truth permeating the universe, society, and the individual. They impart messages of hope and courage that make it possible for us to face every trial life presents us, and they offer practical, concrete guidance for changing poison into medicine."
SGI Newsletter No. 9692, Living Out Our Lives with the Gosho, from the September 2017 issue of the Daibyakurenge, the Soka Gakkai monthly study journal), translation released 16th Aug. 2017.
