-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Buddhism is all about our behavior as a human being.*
Not only for our fellow members but also for their family
members,
let's express our sincere and heartfelt appreciation by
offering our warm, thoughtful words.
Let's make every effort to develop friendly relations with
others and spread happiness to as many people as we
possibly can!
*"The purpose of the appearance in this world of
Shakyamuni Buddha, the lord of teachings, lies in his
behavior as a human being." - "The Three Kinds of
Treasure", WND-I, page 852

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Single-mindedly chant Nam-myoho-renge-
to do the same; that will remain as the only memory of
your present life in this human world."
(Questions and Answers about Embracing the Lotus Sutra -
The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 64)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
Courage is vital in life. People who lack courage cannot
bring forth true compassion, nor can they savor true joy.
They are cowardly and servile. Courage is also the essence
of practitioners of Nichiren Daishonin's Buddhism.
