-- TO MY FRIENDS --
It's our earnest gongyo and daimoku
that is the wellspring of
hope and happiness in our lives.
Let's vigorously and sonorously
chant the Mystic Law
with the rhythm of a galloping
white horse in the sky!
Brimming with powerful life force,
let's propel ourselves forwards!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
" 'Attain' means to open or reveal. It is to reveal that the beings of the Dharma-realm are Buddhas eternally endowed with the three bodies. 'Buddhahood' means being enlightened to this."

"Another name on the Buddha is 'One Who Can Endure. In other words, a person who can persevere through any hardship.
"No one is stronger than those who are unafraid of anything, undefeated by anything, who can endure any suffering without the slightest complaint—even if they are persecuted or imprisoned for their beliefs.
"Consequently, the strength to endure, no matter what happens, the strength to live and survive through any adversity, is the foundation for supreme happiness for human beings. This is the life state of Buddhahood.
"This strength overflows in the Soka Gakkai. That is why we have been able to endure so much. That is why we have won."
SGI Newsletter 1420, quoting from 32nd Soka Gakkai Headquarters Leaders' Meeting vidoe of 73rd Soka Gakkai Heaquarters Leaders' Meeting 1993, translation released May, 2018
