-- TO MY FRIENDS --
To all of our men's 
and women's chapter leaders,
thank you so much for all of your 
dedicated efforts and struggles!
May you be the type of 
gallant leaders
who continue to spark 
all of our fellow members
with the flame of passion 
for achieving kosen-rufu!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Though we live in the impure land, our hearts reside in the pure land of Eagle Peak. Merely seeing each other's face would in itself be insignificant. It is the heart that is important."

(The Drum at the Gate of Thunder 
- WND, Vol. 1, page 949)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ——
"The Daishonin writes: 'If you are of the same mind as Nichiren, you must be a Bodhisattva of the Earth'* (WND–1, 385). The Bodhisattvas of the Earth are profoundly noble. Entrusted with spreading the Mystic Law in the evil age of the Latter Day, they appear in this world in accord with their vow to actualise kosen-rufu. Soka Gakkai members are all Bodhisattvas of the Earth.

"Put simply, kosen-rufu means building a happy, peaceful world in which everyone is glad to have been born, appreciates their life and can lead an enjoyable, fulfilling existence in harmony with others. It is just as we say in our silent prayers at the end of gongyo every morning and evening: 'I pray for peace throughout the world and the happiness of all living beings.'"

The Buddhism of the Sun—Illuminating the World, "The True Aspect of All Phenomena"—Take the Lead in Spreading the Philosophy of Respect for the Dignity of Life! Building a Happy, Peaceful World, June 2020 issue of the Daibyakurenge - Monthly Soka Gakkai study journal, translation released April 2021.

* Bodhisattvas of the Earth: The innumerable bodhisattvas who appear in the "Emerging from the Earth" (15th) chapter of the Lotus Sutra and are entrusted by Shakyamuni with the task of propagating the Law after his passing. In the "Supernatural Powers" (21st) chapter, Shakyamuni entrusts Bodhisattva Superior Practices, the leader of the Bodhisattvas of the Earth, with spreading the Law in the saha world in the evil age of the Latter Day of the Law.
