-- TO MY FRIENDS --
"If there's absolutely anything on your mind you want to talk about,
don't hesitate to let me know, ok?"
Offering such kind and caring words to others,
always being the first to make the move to make others feel at ease,
is so important.

"If only you chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, then what offence could fail to be
eradicated? What blessing could fail to come? This is the truth, and it is
of great profundity. You should believe and accept it."
(Conversation between a Sage and an Unenlightened Man -The Writings of
Nichiren Daishonin, page 130) Selection

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The Daishonin was deeply pained by the sight of the suffering and misery of
the people. He writes: 'I have been brooding alone upon this matter,
indignant in my heart' (WND-1, 7). Words could not fully express his
emotions. His conclusion, arising from his immense compassion for those who
were suffering, was that in order to bring happiness to the people and build
a peaceful society, it was vital to establish the correct teaching for the
peace of the land. At the foundation of this spirit to establish the correct
teaching is an absolute reverence for the sanctity of life that affirms the
supremely respectworthy Buddha nature in all living beings. And that is
precisely why we must intrepidly fight against the devilish nature of
authority that disregards or diminishes the value of life....
"The Daishonin's spirit of empathy--the irrepressible impulse to help those
who are suffering--has been inherited by the Soka Gakkai and is vibrantly
alive among our members. Through imparting hope and winning trust, we can
forge strong and deep bonds with others."
