-- TO MY FRIENDS --
There is absolutely no waste 
in any of our efforts or challenges
for the sake of kosen-rufu.
Embracing the Buddhism of the Sun 
rising in our hearts,
today again,
let's advance cheerfully 
and in high spirits!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"As practice progresses and understanding grows, the three obstacles and four devils emerge in confusing form, vying with one another to interfere . . . One should be neither influenced nor frightened by them. If one falls under their influence, one will be led into the paths of evil. If one is frightened by them, one will be prevented from practising the correct teaching." This statement not only applies to me, but also is a guide for my followers. Reverently make this teaching your own, and transmit it as an axiom of faith for future generations.

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"'Rice that nourishes the votary [practitioner] of the Lotus Sutra must the rice of the upmost compassion, because it benefits, all living beings.'

"From 'The Properties of Rice' (WND–1, 1117).

"The Soka Gakkai is a gathering of practitioners of the Lotus Sutra directly connected to Nichiren Daishonin. We gain, boundless and immeasurable good fortune from participating in our great struggle that 'benefits all living beings'— the struggle to realise the Daishonin's ideal of 'establishing the correct teaching for the peace of the land.'

"Because our efforts are driven by the 'utmost compassion,' everlasting treasures, will adorn our lives, and all of those who share a profound connection with us.

"Forging ahead, proudly, with a song of victory in our hearts, let's joyfully, bring forth the shining wisdom of the Middle Way of Buddhism!"

Towards a Hope-Filled Future with the Daishonin's Writings, Forging Ahead Proudly with a Song of Victory in Our Hearts, from July 15th, 2022 issue of Seikyo Newspaper, translation released October, 2022.
