-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Daishonin teaches us,
"One day of life is more valuable than
all the treasures
of the major world system."*
Let's make today (this day) a day
that is of the greatest value!
The fuel in order to do so is,
of course,
our faith!
*"On Prolonging One's Life Span" - WND-1, page 955
Thursday, May 17th, 2018
--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Even insentient plants and trees share as one a friend's joys and sorrows."
(Reply to the Honorable Kōnichi
- WND, Vol. 2, page 964)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Small meetings are truly decisive.
"We must strive with the awareness that the most mundane activities are the most important struggles. That's the key to achieving real victories. The areas that engage patiently in consistent, steadfast, grassroots efforts are the strongest. I hope you will never forget this formula."
30th Soka Gakkai Headquarters Leaders Meeting, Imparting Courage and hope to All, January 8th, 2018 Seikyo Shinbun, translation released March 2018
