-- TO MY FRIENDS --
"Someone will probably do it" 
is not the way to manifest 
our true strengths and abilities.
Instead,
"I will take on this challenge!",
is what it means to have 
a stand alone faith and practice
and what enables us to tap into 
unlimited wisdom from within!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"I entrust you with the propagation of Buddhism in your province. It is stated that 'the seeds of Buddhahood sprout as a result of conditions, and for this reason they preach the single vehicle.'"

(The Properties of Rice 
- WND, Vol. 1, page 1117)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Mr. Makiguchi said: 'Self negation is a lie. What is right is to seek happiness for both oneself and everyone else.' He denounced the evil of self negation leading to self sacrifice in an age dominated by militaristic values that prioritised the nation over the individual.

"The ultimate purpose that Mr. Makiguchi stressed was the happiness of both self and others.. In other words, it is not solely about one's own happiness, nor is it solely about the happiness of others. Everyone becoming happy together is the Buddhist concept of happiness."

The Buddhism of the Sun—Illuminating the World, [38] A Compass Guiding us to Lives Brimming with Joy and Pride, June 2018 issue of Daibyakurenge, the Soka Gakkai monthly journal. Translation released March 2019.
