-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's try to attend the video broadcasts
of the headquarters leaders' meeting
together with our youthful successors.
Supporting each other
as members of the SGI family
let's construct an eternal foundation of growth,
creating lots of golden memories together!

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Alone, people become weak. And when they encounter attack, they tend to become fearful, succumb to their own weakness, and start to slacken in their faith. In other words, cowardice becomes their master.
"That's why the Daishonin cites the words 'One should become the master of one's mind rather than let one's mind master oneself' (WND-1, 390), stressing the importance of being the master of our mind, and further, following the teachings of a mentor who can guide us on the path of correct faith. Having a mentor in faith and fellow practitioners is indispensable in our Buddhist practice."
SGI Newsletter No. 9706, The New Human Revolution––Vol. 27: Chap. 3, Fierce Struggle 29, translation released 6th Sep., 2017
