-- WORDS OF THE WEEK --
Let's reach out in solidarity
and offer encouragement
and support to
our precious fellow members
who are in the midst of adversity!
The Daishonin assures us,
"Misfortune will change into fortune."*
Through the SGI's spirit of resilience,
let's advance
by "changing poison into medicine"!**

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"A woman called Shōdai-nyo, for the faults of greed and stinginess, was confined in the realm of hungry spirits, but she was saved by her son Maudgalyāyana and was freed from that realm. Thus the sutra's statement that children are a treasure is in no way false."
(The Gift of Clear Sake
- WND, Vol. 1, page 1091)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The 'sun' of a culture of peace and the rich 'earth' that nourishes the growth of socially engaged individuals are both found in the Soka family. The warmth of the local members and their compassionate concern for the happiness of others cause the buds of peace, hope and justice to blossom naturally in the hearts of our future division members."
The Wisdom for Creating Happiness and Peace, [1] The Future Division: The Key to the Ongoing Development of Kosen-rufu, 1. Aiming Towards the Soka Gakkai's Centennial with the Future Division, January 2018 Daibyakurenge, translation released September 2019
