-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Together with our fellow members
we share our struggles,
together we chant,
together we take action,
and together we rejoice.
This is the fellowship
of the SGI.
In the place where we are right now,
let's expand the world's
foremost realm of encouragement!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
Both of you have continued believing in the Lotus Sutra; thus you are now ridding yourselves of your grave offenses from the past. For example, the flaws in iron come to the surface when it is forged.
(Letter to the Brothers
- WND-1, page 497)
