-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The basis of SGI activities is 
our daily practice of gongyo
and chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo.*
The steady and unceasing practice 
of chanting daimoku
expands our life state, 
guides us in what action to take
and builds a future 
of indestructible happiness.

"Although I and my disciples may encounter various difficulties, if we do not harbour doubts in our hearts, we will as a matter of course attain Buddhahood."

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Gandhi said: 'My experiments [in nonviolence] have not been conducted in the closet, but in the open.' Similarly, our grassroots Buddhist movement has advanced not behind closed doors but in the real world by members demonstrating the principle of 'faith equals daily life.' That is because, as the Daishonin teaches, nothing surpasses the proof of actual fact (cf.WND–1, 599)."

 The Buddhism of the Sun—Illuminating the World. [69] Advancing Our Movement by Demonstrating the Principles of "Faith Equals Daily Life" and "Buddhism Is Manifested in Society," Nothing Surpasses the Proof of Actual Fact,  January 2021 issue of Daibyaku Renge Study Journal, translation released October 2021.
