-- TO MY FRIENDS --
To especially those who are continually making selfless and dedicated efforts behind the scenes,
let's really give them all the encouragement we can.
A lack of interest or failure to show our concern
is only exemplifying one's lack of compassion.
It's those considerate, thoughtful and caring actions and words that bring about happiness, fortune and benefit to everyone.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"At first only Nichiren chanted Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, but then two, three, and a hundred followed, chanting and teaching others."

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Some of our members may not have a Gakkai community or culture centre nearby, and can only visit one with considerable effort and inconvenience. I know that you've all worked very hard in the face of challenging circumstances for kosen-rufu, the welfare of your communities, and the happiness of your fellow members. Buddhism teaches that those who devote themselves earnestly to kosen-rufu are certain to win in the end and receive clear and indisputable benefit. Please be assured of this."
