-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Art enriches the heart.
Both the classics and modern,
Eastern and Western,
make time to indulge
in the masterpieces of literature,
fine art, music and more.
In order to invigorate our spirit,
let's immerse ourselves in these
catalysts of enrichment and inspiration!

Do not depend on others. You must simply make up your mind. Look at the world this year as a mirror. The reason that you have survived until now when so many have died was so that you would meet with this affair.

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"It is my great joy and pride that SGI members, committed to the inconspicuous but study practice of empowerment by encouraging friends who are suffering and bringing out their courage to live and to hope, have built a peoples solidarity through the movement of peace, culture and education as good citizens of their respective countries and communities.
" I would like to affirm once again that the forging of personal relationships based on trust and respect is exactly the culture of peace put into practice. I am convinced that a culture of peace can truly be realised on a global scale and become permanent when peace takes root in the mind of every single person."
