-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's take appropriate action 
with lightening speed 
each time we receive information
or communications that need passing on. 
A leader's earnest resolve 
greatly inspires everyone
to break down the wall of obstacles
facing us.
Sincere actions are first and foremost,
let's take the lead in such actions.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"when one resolves to break free from the sufferings of birth and death and attain Buddhahood, one will inevitably encounter seven grave matters known as the three obstacles and four devils, just as surely as a shadow follows the body and clouds accompany rain."

(Letter to Misawa 
- WND, Vol. 1, page 894)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"'The "Thus Come One" is the living beings of the threefold world [this Saha world]. When we look at these living beings through the eyes of the "lifespan" chapter [of the Lotus Sutra], we can see and understand the true aspect of these beings who in their original states possess the Ten worlds [the life states from hell through Buddhahood].

-From The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings, p.127.

"All people possess the innate life state of Buddhahood. Transcending all differences such as race, ethnicity or gender, we can each illuminate and manifest our true nature, revealing our unique character and potential just like the 'cherry, plum, peach and damson' (cf.OTT, 200).

"Let's pave the way towards a world where everyone can vibrantly give expression to their individuality, shining in their own true way. As global citizens of Soka, let's make efforts where we are now to create a harmonious global family of humankind that highly values equality and diversity."

Towards a Hope-Filled Future with the Daishonin's Writings. Creating a World That Values Diversity, February 16th, 2022 issue of the Seikyo Newspaper, translation released April 2022.
