-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Every single SGI member 
is a protagonist of our movement.
There is a unique story of life 
and kosen-rufu that only we 
ourselves can star in.
Let's each play out 
an exciting drama of victory!
The stage for that drama 
of fulfilling our mission 
is right here and now!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Now, no matter what, strive in faith and be known as a votary of the Lotus Sutra, and remain my disciple for the rest of your life. If you are of the same mind as Nichiren, you must be a Bodhisattva of the Earth."

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Shortly after deciding to make Mr. Toda my mentor in life at the age of 19, I copied a quotation from the American poet and philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-82) in one of my notebooks: 'None can keep you but rectitude only, rectitude forever and ever!'* Emerson commends a life of rectitude and of staying true to our convictions, as firmly as a seasoned ship's captain grasps the wheel in a storm."    

0ur Journey of Mentor and Disciple Shining With Hope and Victory, Making Summer a Time of Personal Growth, from 27th July, 2021 issue of the Seikyo Newspaper, translation released October 2021.

* Ralph Waldo Emerson, Representative Men: Seven Lectures, in The Collected Works of Ralph Waldo Emerson (Cambridge, Massachusetts: The Belnap Press, 1987), vol.4, p.81.
