-- TO MY FRIENDS --
People who never forget 

to have a challenging spirit 

will always stay youthful.
Come, by challenging ourselves 

in both our practice and study,
let's add a page to our journals 

of today's progress, 

better than even yesterday's!
Let's all write of our victories!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Persons who study the teachings of Buddhism must also [observe the ideal of filial piety and] understand and repay their obligations. The disciples of the Buddha must without fail understand the four debts of gratitude and know how to repay them."

(The Opening of the Eyes 

- WND, Vol. 1, page 228)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Let us brighten the hearts of everyone around us with the warm friendship and trust, empathy and inspiration and innovation and solidarity of our Soka family!

"In accord with the Daishonin's words 'When the skies are clear, the ground is illuminated'* (WND–1, 376), let's illuminate our lands with the wisdom of the Buddhism of the Sun and open the way to creating a bright, hopeful future for our world!" 

Our Brilliant Human Revolution, Carry On the Invincible Spirit of Soka, June 30th, 2022 issue of Seikyo Newspaper, translation released October 2022 

* in "The Object of Devotion for Observing the Mind," the Daishonin writes: "When the skies are clear, the ground is illuminated. Similarly, when one knows the Lotus Sutra [Nam-myoho-renge-kyo], one understands the meaning of all worldly affairs" (WND–1, 376).
