-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Talking to someone about Buddhism does indeed take courage,
but it is important to remember to talk with sincerity and true concern.
Our sincere caring desire for another's happiness is always something people can feel, rest assured!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Suffer what there is to suffer, enjoy what there is to enjoy. Regard both suffering and joy as facts of life, and continue chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, no matter what happens."
(Happiness in This World - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 681)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"We are living in very hard times, but I sincerely hope that all of you will always make chanting your top priority and advance in triumph with a rich life-force, dignity, and good cheer.
"Chanting daimoku fills one with courage, joy, and conviction, and brings about the blossoming of great benefit, which in turn gives rise to even more courage, joy, and conviction. Everything starts with chanting. The Soka Gakkai exists to teach and share that message with all."
