"Buddhism is reason."*
Let's uphold good common sense 
and well minded actions 
rich in humanity.
Trust that is 
wholeheartedly built on sincerity 
becomes our most valuable treasure.

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"'No matter what may happen, we must never let our spirit perish as long as we live. We must not be discouraged when we fail or retreat in the face of difficulties. We will put our heart and soul into our work and go forwards with courage and energy in accord with the tide of world progress and the divine principle that good must flourish and evil perish. Then we will succeed in the end.'*


"This is exactly the conviction and way of life of Soka Gakkai members, who have stood up to realise world peace and human happiness based on the fundamental Law of life—in other words, to accomplish the mission of kosen-rufu."

Translated from Chinese. Sun Zhongshan [Sun Yat-sen], Sun Zhongshan quanji (Collected works of Sun Zhongshan), vol. 3 (Beijing: Zhonghua shuju [Zhonghua Book Company], 1984), p. 74.
