-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Soka Gakkai discussion meetings
act as an "oasis"
where everyone who lives locally
can come together
and help each other
to feel revitalised.
Let's have get-togethers
that are overflowing with joy
and where we can praise
and encourage each other!

Became your beloved departed father chanted Nam-myoho-renge-kyo while he was alive, he was a person who attained Buddhahood in his present form, in the same way that stones change into jewels. The actions you have taken, then, are the very height of filial piety and concern.

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Even though we practice Nichiren Buddhism, I'm sure we all have problems and difficulties. On top of that, we've taken on organisational responsibilities, which means we are sharing in our members' struggles and hardships. It may feel like we are climbing a steep hill while shouldering a burden of worries several times our weight. But by regarding the members' sufferings as our own, we can vastly expand our life state of life. It is by striving tirelessly for kosen-rufu through the most challenging circumstances that we will gather great fortune and enjoy wonderful benefits. Please never forget the Buddhist Law of cause and effect."
The New Human Revolution—Volume 28, Songs of Kosen-rufu 25, translation released July 2022.
