-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's get rid of any preconceived notions that we might have
about other people and let's always be open minded.
It is through our actions to meet others and to sincerely and
earnestly talk to them, face to face, that we can definitely
move their hearts.
Let's take every possible opportunity to get acquainted with others
and to help them understand what our movement is about
and, subsequently, to be supportive of our actions.

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The most profound life is one that is dedicated to pursuing a shared ideal
with one's mentor. The loftier the ideal, the more valuable and enduring a
legacy such a life can create and leave behind.
"To realise happiness for oneself and others--this is the eternal ideal of
all humankind. It represents the ultimate wisdom waiting to be found in the
depths of each person's life. It is the genuine yearning that underlies all
of life's workings. At the same time, there is no goal that is more
difficult to achieve. This is because the dark clouds of ignorance and greed
blanket our lives and obscure the sun of wisdom and idealism.
"The Buddhism of Nichiren Daishonin provides us with the philosophy and
practise for realising genuine happiness for ourselves and others. Its
driving spirit is to undertake this difficult challenge and never give up
trying to achieve it. And the mentor-disciple relationship lies at the very
heart of the human network and the united efforts that are so vital to
succeeding in this endeavour."
