-- TO MY FRIENDS --
What determines 

the advancement of kosen-rufu 

is everyone's collective capabilities.
Rather than one person 

taking a hundred steps forwards,
it is far more effective and valuable 

that a hundred people take
one step forwards.
Encouraging each and every one 

of our noble fellow members
who all have a unique mission,
let's widely experience dramas 

of extraordinary joy!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"It is the heart that is important. No matter how earnestly Nichiren prays for you, if you lack faith, it will be like trying to set fire to wet tinder."

(The Strategy of the Lotus Sutra 

- WND, Vol. 1, page 1000)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Buddhist practice may seem difficult and demanding, but it is through our practice and daily Soka Gakkai activities that we savour true happiness.

"Please remember the vitality, fulfilment and joy you experience when you chant daimoku wholeheartedly to introduce a friend to Buddhism and engage them in dialogue. When you take the initiative, Soka Gakkai activities become a source of joy." 

The New Human Revolution - Vol. 28, Great Path 29, translation released February 2023
