-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's try to attend the SGI satellite broadcast
of the monthly leaders' meeting
together with our children and grandchildren!
Our faith and practice are passed on

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"If you stop to consider, you will realise that, at one time or another in the past, all men have been your father and all women, your mother. Thus, in the course of all the many lifetimes and existences you have lived through, you have come to owe a debt of gratitude to all living beings. And since this is so, you should help all of them to attain Buddhahood."
( The Four Virtues and the Four Debts of Gratitude
together with our children and grandchildren!
Our faith and practice are passed on
to them even better when they experience
firsthand the warmth
and joyful conversations of the SGI family.

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Don't immediately give up or become discouraged because one of your ideas isn't accepted, either. If you think what you are proposing is truly necessary and important, examine any flaws or problems that have been pointed out, correct them, and keep presenting your idea. You need to be persistent."
