Gosho Selection for March 18

I alone have read the sutra with my entire being. This is the meaning of the passage [in the Lotus Sutra] that says, "We care nothing for our bodies or lives but are anxious only for the unsurpassed way." I am therefore the foremost votary of the Lotus Sutra in Japan.

Sensei's Guidance for March 18

Let us do our utmost to sustain the wonderfully warm atmosphere of the SGI -- an atmosphere where members feel free to discuss whatever is on their minds. Unless we do so, our organization will stop growing, stop developing. The SGI is a world of humanity -- of the heart, of faith, of compassion. It is a world of unity and mutual inspiration. That is why it is strong. If we continue to value and promote these qualities, the SGI will continue to grow and develop forever. I want to declare here and now the atmosphere where we can discuss anything is fundamental to the SGI.

"For Today & Tomorrow"

------------------------------------------------------------------------

A person of seeking spirit is always youthful, always full of joy, and always vigorous. People with seeking minds humbly examine themselves, and strive to develop their lives. Through such efforts, they are able to develop great character. A genuine Buddhist and genuine member of the SGI is one who always lives vibrantly and continually advances through life with a seeking mind.
