-- TO MY FRIENDS --
It is always important to act quickly
when it comes to offering words of encouragement (in times of need,)
or when expressing gratitude for someone's kindness or efforts.
By our heartfelt sincerity and concern and quick reaction to situations
let's develop our friendships with everyone in our environment
and help them to understand and be supportive of our activities!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Concerning prayer, there are conspicuous prayer and conspicuous response,
conspicuous prayer and inconspicuous response, inconspicuous prayer and
inconspicuous response, and inconspicuous prayer and conspicuous response.
But the only essential point is that, if you believe in this sutra, all your
desires will be fulfilled in both the present and the future."

(Letter to the Lay Priest Domyo - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1,
page 750)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Expressions of thanks and appreciation strengthen ties of trust and
friendship. It's no exaggeration to say that a person's character can be
measured by how freely they're able to thank and express their gratitude to
others."
