-- TO MY FRIENDS --
This is the faith of 
"changing poison into medicine."
To those who are
challenging adversity at work,
remember that it's 
the experiences we gain  
from growing amidst such hardships
that are the cornerstones 
of our victories in life.
With strong tenacious perseverance, 
let's cheerfully advance!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
If one's heavy karma from the past is not expiated within this lifetime, one must undergo the sufferings of hell in the future, but if one experiences extreme hardship in this life [because of the Lotus Sutra], the sufferings of hell will vanish instantly.

(Lessening One's Karmic Retribution 
- WND-1, page 199)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Professor Arnold J. Toynbee (1889-1975) believed that creativity arose from the chance encounter of individuals. That is why he entrusted us of the Soka Gakkai with the task of carrying out dialogue based on the spirit of 'Choose life,' bringing people and cultures together.

"Now, in both our immediate local communities and in the wider global community, we must engage even more in dialogue on the many issues that confront us – such as epidemics, climate change, division and conflict – pool our wisdom, and demonstrate our ability to create positive new value."

Our Brilliant Revolution, Building Peace through Dialogue, translated from the August 24th, 2021, issue of the Seikyo Newspaper, translation released December 2021.
