-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Our smile is the key to opening up 
other people's hearts.
Let's greet everyone 
we share a connection with,
with a warm bright smile.
Just like a sunflower that 
grows and blooms 
towards the sun 
with all its might!

 --- DAILY GOSHO ---
"I say all this solely for the sake of the nation, for the sake of the Law, for the sake of others, not for my own sake."

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
" The SGI has always been a movement committed to empowerment — of the people, by the people and for the people — and through a process we describe as human revolution. The essence of empowerment is to fully unleash the power and the boundless potential inherent in every human being based on the Buddhist understanding that our own happiness is inextricably linked to the happiness of others.

"It is our belief that through active engagement with others and the process of mutual support and encouragement, individual peace and happiness will be realised and the foundations for world peace will be further solidified."

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, 28.26 Women Hold the Key, Choosing Dialogue, Peace Proposal titled "Peace through Dialogue: A Time To Talk—Thoughts on a Culture of Peace," 25th SGI Day, Jan. 26th, 2000, from the December 2017 issue of the Daibyaku Renge, translation released June 2019.
