-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Anyone of us can assume 
the profound mission
for the responsibility 
of the happiness 
of our local community.
Starting with our direct neighbours,
let's spread and expand, 
with a bright heart, 
the bonds of 
friendship and assurance!

*Making the world a better place is something that starts in our relationships with our neighbours, in our immediate circumstances. Shin'ichi Yamamoto was always saying that Soka Gakkai members should take responsibility for the happiness of their communities. This guidance had taken deep root in members' hearts and encouraged them to awaken to their vital mission to contribute to society. The people are like the earth. When the lives of the people are cultivated, thus opening up their awareness as agents for creating a better society, their communities will prosper. (The New Human Revolution, Vol. 24, "Beacon" chapter)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Everyone deserves to live in a peaceful society and to enjoy health and happiness. Everyone, including the sick and disabled, deserves to live with dignity and to be relieved of the anxiety and pain of illness. Everyone deserves to live free from the threats of harmful environments, hunger and infectious diseases. In today's world, along with peace, health is an essential element of fundamental human rights and has become an issue impacting human dignity all the more."

Health Is an Essential Element of Fundamental Human Rights, from the September 2019 issue of the Daibyakurenge, the Soka Gakkai monthly study magazine, translation released August 2020
