-- TO MY FRIENDS --
When leaders use their initiative 
in activities 
it inspires their fellow members.
Let's sincerely talk with others,
sharing our honest, frank
thoughts and feelings 
about what we have experienced
as a result of our actions 
based on our faith and practice!

This word "belief" is a sharp sword that cuts off fundamental darkness or ignorance. Therefore with regard to belief, Words and Phrases says, "Belief means to be without doubt." It is a sharp sword that cuts away doubt and perplexity.

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The noble work of the Buddha, of guiding all people to enlightenment, is accomplished by the convergence of three elements: (1) the Mystic Law, the supreme teaching for attaining Buddhahood; (2) the time, when people long in the depths of their hearts for the Law to spread; (3) and the emergence of courageous practitioners, people who will spread the Law with selfless dedication.

"Through the efforts of those who stand up in an age when the teaching and time align, Buddhism becomes a truly living religion. By the same principle, Nichiren Buddhism has spread around the world due to the appearance of the Soka Gakkai, the organisation carrying out the Buddha's intent.

"Amid the unprecedented challenges of the coronavirus pandemic, Soka Gakkai members everywhere are deepening their prayers for the peace and security of their land. They are tirelessly encouraging those around them and forging an ever widening network of good. In this way, they are carrying on the Daishonin's great struggle to transform the destiny of humankind."

The Buddhism of the Sun—Illuminating The World, [66] The Journey of Mentor and Disciple for Worldwide Kosen-rufu—Creating a Global Network for Peace, Relieving the Suffering of All People, from the October 2020 issue of the Daibyakurenge- Soka Gakkai monthly study journal, translation released July 2021
