-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Especially in times of crisis like now,
let's continue to take on 

any challenge that confront us
and shake off any fear of failure!
Let's move forwards  

practising with resilient optimism
using everything as a catalyst 

for our growth!

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"That great leader of propagation, second Soka Gakkai president Josei Toda, called out to his beloved disciples: 'My fellow Bodhisattvas of the Earth, let's take on this challenge [of making kosen-rufu a reality]!'

"Sharing the Mystic Law with others is the proud mission of the Soka Gakkai, the organisation carrying out the Buddha's intent, the gathering of Bodhisattvas of the Earth entrusted by Nichiren Daishonin with actualising kosen-rufu in the Latter Day of the Law.

"That mission is the essence and lifeblood of Nichiren Buddhism that enables us to realise happiness for ourselves and help others do the same."
