-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's treasure our young people 

in our local SGI community
and praise their proactive efforts 

of leading the expansion of
dialogue with others!
The experiences of overcoming 

our own inner obstacles
will definitely become 

the unshakable foundation 

for our lives.

"A blue fly, if it clings to the tail of a thoroughbred horse, can travel ten thousand miles, and the green ivy that twines around the tall pine can grow to a thousand feet."

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"In November this year, the long-awaited revised edition of the Nichiren Daishonin Gosho Zenshu (Collected Writings of Nichiren Daishonin) will be published in Japanese. An additional 32 writings are included for the first time, and additional passages have been added to some previously published writings [as a result of new research findings].

"Among them is a profoundly meaningful addition to "On Clothing and Food," which the Daishonin sent to a woman disciple. [SGI Newsletter Editors' Note: The new portion is already included in the translation of this writing in volume 2 of The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin.] It reads:

"'When one lights a torch for someone at night, one brings light not only to another person but to oneself as well. Likewise, when one livens other people's complexions, one livens one's own too, when one gives them strength, one gives oneself strength too, when one prolongs their lives, one prolongs one's own life as well. (WND–2, 1066)

"When we light the way for others and brighten our communities, we illuminate our own way; when we encourage and energise others, we, too, are encouraged, inspired and invigorated the Daishonin says."

Our Brilliant Human Revolution, The Eternal Shared Struggle of Mentor and Disciple, April 29th, 2021 issue of the Seikyo Newspaper, translation released July 2021.
