-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's show our deepest gratitude
to the women of Soka
who are spreading
a culture of peace!
It's thanks to you
that kosen-rufu advances.
Today, too,
let's joyfully bring to bloom
abundant flowers of friendship
in all their glory!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
Neither the pure land nor hell exists outside oneself; both lie only within one's own heart. Awakened to this, one is called a Buddha; deluded about it, one is called an ordinary person. The Lotus Sutra reveals this truth.

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Always remember that no matter how old you are it is important to remain young at heart. Even in his 70s, Mr. Makiguchi still used to say: 'We youth,' reflecting the spirit that the hearts of those who practice Nichiren Buddhism are eternally young. I hope all our members will advance with youthful hearts."
