--- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ---

"The true nobility of Soka Gakkai members lies in our sincere efforts to embody Nichiren Daishonin's teachings in our daily lives. A powerful expression of this spirit appears in the passage: '"Joy" means that oneself and others together experience joy' (OTT, 146). This is from The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings, in which the Daishonin encapsulates the essence of mentor and disciple.

"For the sake of the genuine happiness of others, our fellow members spare neither time nor effort. We understand that such selfless actions form the very foundation of our own human revolution and the transformation of karma. Without calculation or thought of reward, we simply reach out with heartfelt sincerity to support and encourage those around us."

Soka Gakkai President Minoru Harada's Editorial for December 2025/January 2026, SGI Newsletter 11921, Let Songs of Joy Resound from the Depths of Our Hearts, from the December 2025 issue of the Daibyakurenge, the Soka Gakkai monthly study journal. Translation released Nov. 21st 2025.
