-- TO MY FRIENDS --
There is no treasure in life that is more valuable than friendship. Today and everyday, with courage and in high spirits, let's actively engage in dialogue with others. Let's open new doors to new friendships!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Strengthen your faith day by day and month after month. Should you slacken in your resolve even a bit, devils will take advantage."

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Respectful conduct towards others like that epitomised by Bodhisattva Never Disparaging in the Lotus Sutra. A strong commitment unshaken by any opposition or obstacle. A readiness to stand up against inhumanity and injustice. A wonderful example of winning trust in our immediate environment and promoting understanding of Nichiren Daishonin's Buddhism. Through such daily efforts as SGI members, we are engaging in a lofty spiritual struggle to refute the erroneous and reveal the true. I wish to declare that such efforts constitute the practice of shakubuku in modern times."
