-- TO MY FRIENDS --
"Nichiren Buddhism will spread 

for ten thousand years 

and more, for all eternity."*
Let's proudly advance along 

the great noble path of
"Establishing the Correct Teaching 

for the Peace of the Land 

(Rissho Ankoku)"**
by striving together 

with our SGI fellow members 

around the world!

*"If Nichiren's compassion is truly great and encompassing, Nam-myoho-renge-kyo will spread for ten thousand years and more, for all eternity, for it has the beneficial power to open the blind eyes of every living being in the country of Japan, and it blocks off the road that leads to the hell of incessant suffering." 

- "On Repaying Debts of Gratitude" 

(WND, Vol.1, page 736)

-- DAILY GOSHO --
"My wish is that my disciples will be cubs of the lion king, never to be laughed at by the pack of foxes. It is hard to encounter a master like Nichiren, who since distant kalpas in the past down to the present day has never begrudged his body or life in order to expose the faults of his powerful enemies!"

(In the Continent of Jambudvīpa

-- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT --
"This year is the 60th anniversary of the start of a series of lectures on The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings I gave to student division representatives (from August 31st, 1962).

"At one of these lectures six decades ago, someone asked if leaders needed to be optimists. It was just the kind of question our bright and inquiring student division members would ask.

"I responded to the effect: 'Leaders must exercise caution and resolve to win in every struggle. Optimism without that spirit is the mark of a leader who doesn't really give serious thought to people's feelings. True optimism is to keep on smiling and pressing forwards courageously for kosen-rufu, for people's happiness and victory, even when you're maligned or encounter obstacles.'"
