-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Especially in the midst of 
our own struggles and concerns
can we empathise with others'
challenges.
It's at such very times that 
we can reach out 
and support one another.
Let's speak frankly and openly
and together 
play out dramas of 
becoming strong again!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"If you find that you miss me, always look at the sun that rises [in the morning] and the moon that rises in the evening. Whatever the time, I will be reflected in the sun and the moon."

(Letter to the Lay Nun of Kō 
- WND, Vol. 1, page 596)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"We will soon mark the 10th anniversary of the Hall of the Great Vow's completion. Nichiren Daishonin writes: 'Three things are required—a good teacher, a good believer, and a good teaching—before prayers can be effective and disasters banished from the land' (WND-1, 880). Taking these words to heart, over the past decade we of the Soka Gakkai—walking the path of mentor and disciple and faithfully following the teachings of the Buddha of the Latter Day of the Law—have made dynamic strides in fulfilling our individual prayers and compassionately spreading the Mystic Law in the lands of our mission.

"The driving force behind this is unquestionably our Soka Gakkai districts. I am chanting with the deepest respect and gratitude for the members of our Soka family in districts throughout Japan and the world, spearheaded by our admirable men's and women's district leaders. I would like to celebrate with you the decade of magnificent victory each of your districts has achieved."
