-- TO MY FRIENDS --
All of our daimoku and actions 
based on our concern  
for our friends' happiness
and all of our struggles and contributions, 
based on our chanting 
for our local community,
are certain to become 
treasures of the heart.
Let's fill the pages of our diaries 
with joy-filled dramas
of creating happiness for both 
ourselves and others!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"The Buddha wrote that one should become the master of one's mind rather than let one's mind master oneself."

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Your dedication to kosen-rufu is the greatest offering you can make to the Buddha. The benefit you derive from taking action for the Mystic Law enables not only you, but also your parents, your siblings and all those connected to you, to attain Buddhahood. You can help move everyone's life in the direction of happiness.

"That's why all it takes is one person. Everything starts with one individual. Everything is decided by that person's courageous and confident faith. I want to strongly impress this upon you."

10th Soka Gakkai Headquarters Leaders Meeting, Moving from a Focus on Self to a Focus on Others, Sep. 6th, 2022 issue of the Seikyo Newspaper, translation released December 2022.
