A translation of "To My Friends" published in the Seikyo Shinbun based on President Ikeda's recent guidance, and more.
-- TO MY FRIENDS --
To encourage someone means
to help that person feel assured,
to have self confidence
and to ignite their courage.
What makes all this possible
is the daimoku we chant!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Suffer what there is to suffer, enjoy what there is to enjoy. Regard both suffering and joy as facts of life, and continue chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo-myoho-renge-kyo, no matter what happens. How could this be anything other than the boundless joy of the Law? Strengthen your power of faith more than ever."
(Happiness in This World
- WND, Vol. 1, page 681)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The Daishonin State unequivocally: 'this is my vow, and I will never forsake it!' (WND – 1, 280). When we make this vow of the Buddha our own and live out our lives with steadfast faith, we will attain the life state of Buddhahood. We will be able to bring forth unequaled courage, infinite wisdom, boundless compassion and limitless strength."
