-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's continue to steadily advance
even one centimetre or one millimetre
from where we were on the previous day!
These strenuous but humble efforts
are certain to put us in a trajectory 
towards glorious victory and success.

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"'A woman who takes this efficacious medicine [the Mystic Law] will be surrounded and protected by these for great bodhisattvas (the leaders of the Bodhisattvas of the Earth) at all times. When she rises to her feet, so too will the bodhisattvas, and when she walks along the road, they will also do the same.'
- from 'On Offering Prayers to the Mandala of the Mystic Law" (WND–1, 415).

"The Mystic Law is the supreme medicine of life. Those who practise this teaching are resolutely protected by the four great bodhisattvas — Superior Practices, Boundless Practices, Pure Practices and Firmly Established Practices— who symbolise the four noble virtues of eternity, happiness, true self and purity (cf.OTT, 117-18).

"As we carry out activities for kosen-rufu in our communities, we are accompanied by them and the countless bodhisattvas who follow their lead.

"Let's continue to reach out in dialogue with joy and wisdom for the happiness of others and to realise peace and security in society, using our confident voices to transform anxiety and uncertainty into hope and courage."

Engraving the Daishonin's Writings in Our Hearts, SGI President Ikeda's Words of Encouragement, [57] Imparting Hope and Courage with Our Confident Voices, from July 1st, 2020, issue of the Seikyo Newspaper, translation released October 2020
