-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Those who earnestly dedicate themselves
to supporting SGI activities
behind the scenes for the sake of kosen-rufu
are the people who deserve the highest respect!
Through their sincere and strenuous efforts,
it's absolutely certain that
they are creating
abundant good fortune!

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----

"When observed over the long term, it is clear that political systems and governments change and evolve over time.. We mustn't allow ourselves to become preoccupied with such shifting realities. Unless we focus on people themselves, we will be unable to carry out the task of kosen-rufu, the transformation of our troubled society into a Land of Tranquil Light"

From The Wisdom For Creating Happiness and Peace, Part 3: Kosen-rufu and World peace, Chapter 28: Peace, Culture and education: The Flowering of a New Humanism. 28.7 The Great Mission of the Soka Gakkai, from the October 2017 edition of Daibyaku Renge, translation released October 2018
