--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"You are extending the life of the Lotus Sutra, and thus making offerings to the Buddhas of the three existences. This means, I think, that your benefit is that of opening the eyes of all the living beings in the ten directions. No words can express how sublime this is."

(Reply to Ueno 
- WND, Vol. 2, page 590)
Selection Source: 
SGI President Ikeda's guidance, 
Seikyo Shinbun, May 2nd, 2018

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Precisely because we live in an age where many lack convictions and a sound guiding philosophy we who hold the steadfast banner of conviction and philosophy—of faith in Nichiren Buddhism—must make our lives shine brightly with life's ultimate and eternal brilliant achievement—that is, attaining Buddhahood in this lifetime."

Raise the Banner of Brilliant Achievement and Open the Way to a Peaceful Future, from the January edition of the Daibyakurenge, January 2018, translation released February 2018.
