-- TO MY FRIENDS --
To our friends who are
earnestly exerting themselves at work,
amid a busy schedule
it's especially important to start the day
by doing a robust and resolute gongyo
and daimoku!
Brimming with courage and wisdom,
let's strive to show actual proof
of winning undauntedly in our lives!

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
An eternal starting point of the Soka Gakkai is second president Josei Toda's awakening to his identity as a Bodhisattva of the Earth while in prison. Since then, in a world racked by the misery of war and endless human suffering, the mentors and disciples of Soka have stood up to fulfil the great vow for kosen-rufu and bring happiness and peace to all people. Aware of our mission, we have gone out among the people, determined to be true champions who can stand alone, fearless and unwavering in the face of any adversity."
The Buddhism of the Sun —Illuminating the World, (390) A Religion of Human Revolution—Part 10, Who Will Propagate the Object of Devotion in the Latter Day of the Law?, from the October 2017 issue of the Daibyakurenge, translation released June 2018
