-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Daishonin says:
"The more one praises 
the blessings of the Lotus Sutra,
the more one's own blessings 
will increase."*
Let's together applaud
the challenges and efforts 
that one another is making!
The unity and solidarity of the Soka family 
is the powerhouse that spurs 
overflowing hope and momentum!

*"The Blessings of the Lotus Sutra" - WND-I, page 673

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"If one's heavy karma from the past is not expiated within this lifetime, one must undergo the sufferings of hell in the future, but if one experiences extreme hardship in this life [because of the Lotus Sutra], the sufferings of hell will vanish instantly."

(Lessening One's Karmic Retribution 
- WND, Volume 1, page 199) 
Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin,"
Seikyo Shinbun, Jan. 19th, 2018

Saturday, January 20th, 2018
---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Continuing to dedicate one's life to kosen-rufu is the mark of a person of genuine merit. Retreating or slackening one's efforts sullies the golden record of achievement one has created thus far."

SGI Newsletter No. 9535, The New Human Revolution––Volume 27: Chapter 3, Fierce Struggle 1, translation released 27th Jan. 2017
