-- TO MY FRIENDS --
With new ideas, 
we take on new challenges!
The fresh determinations 
and bold actions of young people
are the very driving force 
that opens the doors to the future!

-- DAILY GOSHO --
"If the spirit of many in body but one in mind prevails among the people, they will achieve all their goals, whereas if one in body but different in mind, they can achieve nothing remarkable. The more than three thousand volumes of Confucian and Taoist literature are filled with examples. King Chou of Yin led seven hundred thousand soldiers into battle against King Wu of Chou and his eight hundred men. Yet King Chou's army lost because of disunity while King Wu's men defeated him because of perfect unity."

(Many in Body, One in Mind

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Describing kosen-rufu in modern times as a movement to relieve each person's suffering, Mr. Toda further stated: 'There is no other way but to persevere in one-to-one dialogue to share the correct teaching of Nichiren Daishonin's Buddhism, convince each person of its truth, and thereby help them free themselves from suffering. We of the Soka Gakkai have made that work our mission.'"
