-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Daishonin teaches us,
"Even a feeble person will not stumble
if those supporting him are strong"*
The bond of friendship between
one person and another
is the very foundation
of the Soka Gakkai's strength.
Let's do our utmost
Let's do our utmost
to wholeheartedly encourage
our friends who are in
our friends who are in
the midst of hardships!

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The Soka Gakkai spirit is the spirit of self motivation—taking action on your own initiative, not because someone tells you to. Inner motivation is the key to success in all endeavours....And by tenaciously persevering, you will find a refreshing sense of fulfilment and satisfaction."I hope you will all demonstrate such self motivation and perseverance…."
