* Apologies on behalf of Yahoo to those who got maybe 3 or even 7 copies of yesterday's edition! We are working with Yahoo to put a stop to this BUT there is a possibility this might happen again until Yahoo finally sorts this out. BUT can we appeal to one and all to take this as nothing but Sanso shima - obstacles that try to get in our way of our efforts for kosen-rufu and not let it put us off getting the latest guidance from Pres. Ikeda! We plan though to move mailing groups as soon as possible to provide you with a MUCH better service! All the very best…
A translation of "To My Friends" published in the Seikyo Shinbun based on President Ikeda's recent guidance, and more..

-- TO MY FRIENDS --
One on one conversation
inspires and helps to spur us on.
As "leaders" let's take the initiative
and share our experiences
and the conviction we have in this faith!
Let's always be on the forefront
of encouraging one another!

"Human beings are equally vulnerable. They give their lives for shallow, worldly matters but rarely for the Buddha's precious teachings. Small wonder they do not attain Buddhahood."

- WND, Vol. 1, page 304)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Nowhere but in the Soka Gakkai can you find the unsurpassed unity needed to advance kosen-rufu, expressed by Nichiren Daishonin as 'transcending all differences among themselves to become as inseparable as fish and the water in which they swim' (WND – 1, 217).
"Because we are united in the spirit of 'many in body, one in mind,' the Soka Gakkai will never be defeated. It will never be deadlocked. It will achieve all its goals, and all will receive great, inexhaustible benefits.
"This solidarity has enabled us to overcome every conceivable form of hardship and adversity up to now. Let us, the members of the Soka family across Japan and around the world, continue to forge ahead in strong unity as we demonstrate the validity of the Daishonin's words: 'when great evil occurs, great good follows' (WND – 1, 1119)."
