-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's praise and encourage the talents we see in people,
and keenly look out for their strengths,
for in this the way, they will grow to be even more capable!*
Just a few heartfelt words of appreciation can go a long way
in accelerating an individual's growth!
* Gosho: "When praised highly by others, one feels that there is no hardship one cannot bear. Such is the courage that springs from words of praise. " The True Aspect of All Phenomena - WND-1, page 385

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Becoming aware of one's identity as a Bodhisattva of the Earth is a fundamental awakening in the innermost depths of one's life, going far beyond ethnic, racial, or cultural identities. It opens the way to the most beautiful, profound, and powerful heart-to-heart network, breaking through all barriers and transcending all differences."
SGI Newsletter No. 8036, The Noble Vow of Bodhisattvas of the Earth Is the Heart of Soka, from the May 2010 issue of the Daibyakurenge, translated July 16th, 2010
