-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's praise and thank, 
from the very bottom of our hearts, 
all the efforts and great struggles 
that our fellow members 
are making and encountering 
for the sake of kosen-rufu,
let's show them the same 
utmost respect we would a buddha.*
It's through our actions, 
with an open mind and heart, 
that embrace everyone,
that the humanism of the SGI 
shines brilliantly.

*"Therefore, Universal Worthy, if you see a person who accepts and upholds this sutra, you should rise and greet him from afar, showing him the same respect you would a buddha." 
(Encouragements of the Bodhisattva Universal Worthy chapter, The Lotus Sutra)

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"If you propagate it, devils will arise without fail. If they did not, there would be no way of knowing that this is the correct teaching."

(Letter to the Brothers

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Each Soka Gakkai member is a bodhisattva who has emerged from the earth, cherishing a vow from time without beginning to work for kosen-rufu and establish the correct teaching for the peace of the land. They have each appeared voluntarily, in accord with their own wish, in the most challenging time and place in order to rid the world of suffering and misery."

46th Headquarters Leaders' Meeting, Paving the Way to Changing the Destiny of Humankind through Our Own Human Revolution, Seikyo Newspaper Aug. 27th, 2020 translation released Oct. 2020
