-- TO MY FRIENDS --
There is no one
who doesn't have a mission
in life.
Let's therefore reach out
with a light of inspiration
to our comrades
who are challenging their karma
and those who aren't able
to come out to meetings!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
Suffer what there is to suffer, enjoy what there is to enjoy. Regard both suffering and joy as facts of life, and continue chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, no matter what happens.
(Happiness in This World - WND-1, page 681)

"Founding Soka Gakkai president Tsunesaburo Makiguchi declared that Soka mentors and disciples are practitioners of the Lotus Sutra and not believers. The fact that the three obstacles and four devils arise, he said, is proof that we are correctly carrying out bodhisattva practice to help others become happy."
Constructing the New Era, The Soka Gakkai Is a Wellspring of Courage. Seikyo Newspaper July 13th, 2019, translation released September 2019
