-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let us always be ready to rush to a friend's aid,
always ready to listen to what their problems,
opinions and needs are.
It's only when we know our friends well that we can offer them
the most appropriate advice and encouragement.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"When one practises the Lotus Sutra under such circumstances, difficulties will arise, and these are to be looked on as 'peaceful' practises."
(Ongi kuden - Gosho Zenshu, page 750, The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings, page 115)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Every family has their own unique set of problems, such as financial hardship and illness. Referring to these kinds of challenges, the Daishonin says: 'Probably the ten demon daughters are testing the strength of your faith' (WND-1, 899).
"Never be afraid, no matter how daunting the problem seems. Just say to yourself that your faith is being put to the test and rise up to face the difficulty courageously. If you do that, you will definitely change poison into medicine and elevate and expand your life-state in the process."
