-- TO MY FRIENDS --
When encouraging or giving guidance,
it is vital that the advice or suggestions we give are clear and concrete.
By sharing our own personal experiences,
giving practical ideas and ways to solving problems and issues,
let's give the type of encouragement that really
motivates and inspires people to strengthen their faith and practice.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"These passages mean that we, who now believe in the correct teaching,
in the past once committed the offence of persecuting its practitioners, and therefore are destined to fall into a terrible hell in the future. The blessings gained by practicing the correct teaching, however, are so great that by meeting minor sufferings in
this life we can change the karma that destines us to suffer terribly in the future."
(Letter to the Brothers - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 497) Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, October 3rd, 2009

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The leadership philosophy of Buddhism is to enable all people to shine their brightest and gain inner strength and wisdom. To employ the strategy of the Lotus Sutra means reaching out to others and wholeheartedly encouraging them and guiding them to the path of happiness and victory in life. It means breaking through the walls of prejudice and discriminatory traditions and paving the way for the triumph of the people."
