-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Lotus Sutra 
is the strategy of a general,
the art of leadership 
(for guiding people 
to happiness and victory).
As a leader for kosen-rufu,
let's constantly study 
the Writings of Nichiren Daishonin
and continue to encourage everyone.
Victorious turnabouts during 
the struggles for both kosen-rufu 
and our own lives 
happen by always advancing 
based on 
the teachings of the Daishonin!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"And yet, though one might point at the earth and miss it, though one might bind up the sky, though the tides might cease to ebb and flow and the sun rise in the west, it could never come about that the prayers of the practitioner of the Lotus Sutra would go unanswered."

(On Prayer 
- WND, Vol. 1, page 345)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ——
"Since the Soka Gakkai's founding, with President Makiguchi and Toda leading the way, we have carried out this work of the Buddha by giving our full attention to each individual. This has been exemplified in our intimate, face-to-face, small group discussion meetings and frank one-to-one dialogues.

"'Let us discuss the question at length' (WND-1, 7), says the host [Nichiren Daishonin] in 'On Establishing the Correct Teaching for the Peace of the Land,' and we have done just that, initiating conversations based on our prayers for the happiness of others and the security of our societies."

Our Brilliant Human Revolution, Imparting Hope and Inspiration through Dialogue, from the June 10th, 2021 issue of the Seikyo Newspaper, translation released July 2021.
